GDF SUEZ continues to develop its small scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) activities in North West Europe following the awarding by Fluxys of additional berthing and storage capacity long-term rights at the Zeebrugge LNG terminal.
GDF SUEZ continues to develop its small scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) activities in North West Europe following the awarding by Fluxys of additional berthing and storage capacity long-term rights at the Zeebrugge LNG terminal. GDF SUEZ will be able to reload small LNG carriers such as LNG feeders and bunkering vessels that will supply LNG as marine fuel for shipping companies.
LNG as a fuel for ships will expand in the future in a context of increasing maritime regulatory constraints on particle emissions in Northern Europe, as well as on fuel oil prices. Global potential could reach over 30 MTPA by 2025.
LNG has financial and environmental benefits compared with diesel: CO2 emissions are 15-20% lower, the particulate matter content is 95% lower, and emissions of sulphur and NOx are reduced by 90% and 80% respectively. Moreover, noise pollution of engines running on LNG is low.
