Novotel, Amsterdam Rye, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Wednesday 3 May, 2022. If we are to fight climate change emissions, the use of conventional fuels for maritime shipping must be reduced. A more viable cost-effective alternative is (LNG) or liquefied natural gas). The industry states, its the cleanest marine fuel available when compared to heavy fuel oil. LNG has significantly lower CO2 emissions, and almost nonextant particle emissions and is a safe technology, offering higher energy content and lower operational costs. The aim of the 3-day conference is to initiate the start of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) in shipping and imports, and set-up the required infrastructure. Ocean Rebellion say: LNG is a fossil fuel that, when burnt as a marine fuel, leaks methane into the atmosphere; that will increase global warming and not reduce it. The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) identified rapid methane emission cuts as one of the top priorities in order to limit global warming to °C as much as possible. The IPCC’s latest report focusing on climate mitigation makes clear that fossil gas in the form of LNG is not a solution for shipping’s decarbonisation. There are currently over 785 new cargo ships on order globally, with over 400 being built to run on fossil LNG.
