Furetank has achieved a 55% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to the previous generation of ships. The goal is to get to zero by running the vessels entirely on renewable liquid biogas, but currently the supply is not sufficient. Now the company offsets the rest of its impact by purchasing certified carbon credits, reaching zero in 2021

The European Biogas Association (EBA), Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE), the Natural Gas and Vehicle Biogas Association (NGVA Europe) and SEA-LNG published a joint document, which demonstrates the concrete benefits of using BioLNG to decarbonize hard-to-beat transportation sectors through the provision of the latest facts and figures.

The Wärtsilä technology group has won a major contract to supply and build a CO2-neutral liquid transport fuel production plant. The plant will liquefy gas from the natural gas network to produce carbon neutral LNG. It will have a capacity of approximately 100,000 tons per year and will be located in Cologne, Germany. The order from Wärtsilä was placed in September 2020.

The document analyzes the alternative routes to decarbonisation (pathways) in the 2050 horizon under three reference scenarios. Its content is a navigation chart between technology regulation and the uncertain market for marine fuels for shipowners and investors.
