In several recent building projects, LNG has been replaced by methanol. A new study that came out on Monday brought up more worries about natural gas as a bridge fuel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The study&#8217;s authors, who came from places like Harvard, Brown, NASA, and Duke, stressed the importance of methane leaks throughout the entire natural gas value chain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The study concluded that at certain methane leakage rates, the benefits of gas do not outweigh those of coal, as indicated by numerous scenarios. The assessments of satellites and high-altitude planes show that gas leakage rates are equivalent to coal emissions intensity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deborah Gordon, a professor at Brown University and one of the authors, told The New York Times that even small methane leaks make natural gas &#8220;as bad as coal&#8221; and that it &#8220;can&#8217;t be considered a good bridge or substitute.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Many_Are_Now_Playing_a_Game_of_Wait-and-See\"><\/span><strong>Many Are Now Playing a Game of Wait-and-See<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most people think that liquid natural gas (LNG) is the best ship fuel to use in the short term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adam Kent, the managing director of Maritime Strategies International (MSI), stated that the technology and operations of the system have already been established and proven, and there is also existing bunkering infrastructure onshore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When LNG is more expensive than fuel oil, as it has been in the past few years, shipowners with dual-fuel designs can keep using traditional marine fuel.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uncertainty_Surrounding_LNG_and_Dual-Fuel_Technology\"><\/span><strong>Uncertainty Surrounding LNG and Dual-Fuel Technology<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The fact that future laws about LNG are not clear is a downside. Fewer orders for new ships mean that there is less faith in LNG-powered plans to &#8220;future-proof&#8221; ships. The study that came out this week could hurt confidence even more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kent stated that the general uncertainty surrounding fuels and technologies is undoubtedly causing certain owners in the dry bulk and tanker industries to refrain from placing orders for new vessels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many people are currently observing and evaluating the outcomes of those who have already adopted dual-fuel technology. They are also closely monitoring the reliability of this technology, as well as the accessibility and cost of lower-carbon fuels.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Call_Lading_Logistics_for_Logistics_Solutions\"><\/span><strong>Call Lading Logistics for Logistics Solutions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, the use of LNG as a fuel for ships could provide significant environmental benefits and help the industry meet regulatory requirements.
