While it is clear that Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is the best fuel for today, there is a consensus that it is a transitionary fuel and a bridge to the low or no carbon fuels of the future.
Bio-LNG has recently been used for the first time on North American ships, promising to use the same infrastructure as LNG but with a zero-carbon footprint. At the same time, various other Alternative Marine Fuels (AMFs) are being explored, including (but not limited to) methanol, ethanol, hydrogen, and electricity. Each presents unique challenges and none have yet been perfected to the point of commercial viability. Research & Development in this space is famously expensive and can be slow, but the potential rewards are there for all to see.
Ahead of the LNG Bunkering North American Summit 2022, we did some research into the long-term decarbonization pathway, featuring key information about the LNG family of fuels, and other AMFs, to help you drive the decarbonization of your operations and the wider US maritime industry.

With industry professionals anticipating the enforcement of stricter regulations much sooner than the 2050 carbon dioxide (CO2) cap and with LNG still being a relatively new fuel in North America, there is an increased need within the industry to understand the impact of regulation, navigate changes to these regulations, and how they will impact the industry’s collective push to decarbonize operations.
Ahead of the LNG Bunkering North American Summit 2022, we spoke exclusively to Dain Detillier, VP LNG Bunkering & Sustainability Strategies, Harvey Gulf International Marine, LLC, David Cummins, President & CEO, Blue Sky Maritime Coalition and John Nadeau, Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard (Ret.) about the impact of regulation and legislation, to help you drive the decarbonization of the U.S. maritime industry.
