Eric Linsner, LNG Specialist, International Registries, Inc., USA, discusses the progress and challenges for the use of LNG as a marine fuel in small scale applications.
LNG as a marine fuel started to take off when the international community agreed that ships should reduce their emissions of sulfur oxides (SOx) and particulate matter into the atmosphere. Traditionally, large oceangoing ships use heavy fuel oils (HFO) with a sulfur content of 4.5% or higher. Combustion of sulfur in marine propulsion produces SOx, which in the presence of water produces sulfuric acid and results in acid rain, thus acidifying the oceans and damaging plant life. With the reduction of SOx emissions from land-based facilities, the world focused attention on the need for emissions reduction from the marine industry.
