View Comments The Port of Corpus Christi is partnering with Stabilis Solutions Inc. to build liquified natural gas fueling infrastructure at the port.  The port and Stabilis, a Houston company, announced Tuesday they had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding for the structure. Port officials said need for more LNG infrastructure has increased as a growing number of vessels that travel in and out of the port are LNG-powered. "We have a strong commitment to protecting our air attainment status, so by offering LNG as an alternative to diesel as a marine fuel within our gateway, we are e...

(SEA-LNG) Industry coalition stresses that LNG fuels reduce up to 23% of GHG emissions, and that bio- and synthetic LNG offer low risk, incremental pathways to net zero. Waiting for future fuels and not fully utilising LNG, which is safe, proven, competitive and available today, is a mistake.  We need to take advantage  today of the confirmed reduction in GHG of up to 23% (Well-to-Wake) and the obvious air quality benefits of LNG as a maritime fuel. To continue to wait for unproven alternatives only makes the current GHG and local emissions problems worse. The World Bank’s recent report...

SEA-LNG: study affirms LNG cuts shipping GHG emissions April 16, 2021, by Adnan Bajic LNG bunkering coalition SEA-LNG on Friday highlighted the findings of an independent study reconfirming that LNG as a marine fuel reduces GHG emissions by up to 23 per cent. Courtesy of SEA-LNG The study commissioned by SEA-LNG and SGMF notes that this level of greenhouse gas reductions is achievable depending on the marine technology employed. This is compared with the emissions of current oil-based marine fuels measured from Well-to-Wake (WtW). The study was ...
