A renewable fuel supply chain for the shipping industry

Using existing technologies, FirstBio2Shipping is closing the bio-LNG supply chain.

Leveraging the collective expertise of its partners, the project has made renewable liquefied natural gas (LNG) a reality. The process starts with a waste processing company supplying biogas, which is converted into high-quality bio-LNG, delivered to the marine industry as a 100 % drop-in fuel. With an annual bio-LNG production capacity of 2 445 tonnes, the solution is set to replace over 3 000 tonnes of heavy fuel oil and, in doing so, avoid 8 776 tonnes of CO2 equivalent emitted per year.
