As part of UECC\u2019s \u2018Green Gas Month\u2019, Titan will bunker ISCC-EU certified mass-balanced LBM, also known as bio-LNG, to all of UECC\u2019s LNG dual fuel car carriers this month, helping to save more than 8,000 tonnes in CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough the use of biomethane, \u2018Green Gas Month\u2019, and \u2018Sail for Change\u2019 more broadly, we are providing our customers with a great springboard to further their own decarbonisation strategies,\u201d said Daniel Gent, energy & sustainability manager at UECC.<\/p>\n
\u201cTightening environmental regulations and emissions levies like the EU Emissions Trading System are also increasingly boosting the commercial rationale for using clean shipping services.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe use of LBM as a marine fuel reduces UECC\u2019s, and our customer\u2019s exposure to the costs of emitting within the EU ETS, which will continue to ramp up quickly over the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n
UECC and Titan says this development demonstrates LNG\u2019s prominence in the move to net zero, with its supply and use already having mature infrastructure in place.<\/p>\n
Unlike other fuels, LBM is already being introduced at scale, they say. Depending on the feedstock, LBM can be net-zero in terms of greenhouse gas emissions or even net-negative if the avoided emissions of waste are taken into account.<\/p>\n
The next phase is the introduction of e-methane produced using renewable electricity and electrolysis. All of these molecules can be blended at any ratio and used in existing LNG infrastructure without adaptation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are pleased to be working with UECC on these major LBM bunkerings and hope these are the first of many more clean fuel operations with them,\u201d said Flip Dankelman, trader at Titan.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe mass balanced LBM via Fluxys\u2019s LNG Terminal in Zeebrugge is a practical, realistic and cost-competitive way to use clean marine fuels today.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
