You’re navigating a turning point for LNG in maritime. A new US administration has signaled that LNG is a priority, yet its actual impact on the industry remains uncertain. At the same time, IMO global regulations are emerging that don’t necessarily favor LNG, leaving many wondering what the fuel’s true role will be in the years ahead.

This summit is your opportunity to:

•  Prepare for shifting US policy and its real-world implications.
• Understand how to remain compliant under evolving IMO regulations.
•  Address shipbuilding pressures and lagging bunkering infrastructure.
•  Tackle urgent questions around fuel strategy, compliance, and supply chain readiness.

Be part of the conversation shaping LNG’s future in maritime—we look forward to welcoming you.

Ahead of this year's LNG Bunkering North America Summit, taking place from the 18-20th November in Virginia, we wanted to share valuable insights, session highlights, and more from our Global Maritime Decarbonization Summit, held this May. The event touched on several key issues that we’ll be taking a deeper dive into this November, this time through a North American lens.

Ahead of the LNG Bunkering North America Summit, we wanted to share with you our Global LNG Bunkering and Future Fuels Global Summit 2024 post show report,.

The Summit focused on several critical topics such as unlocking the value in our fuel by maximizing the benefits of current LNG investments through technological advancements and exploration into Bio/E/Synthetic LNG and retrofitting, preparing for the transition to alternative fuels such as ammonia, hydrogen, and methanol by learning from early adopters and hearing updates on global availability, and understanding the evolving regulation landscape, including industry alignment with IMO30 and IMO50, and the impact of Cop28 on the maritime industry - plus much more.

The RFS program aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote renewable fuels in the United States. Renewable fuels are produced from renewable biomass and reduce the amount of fossil fuels in transportation fuel, heating oil, and jet fuel. A Renewable Identification Number (RIN) is assigned to each gallon of renewable fuel, and obligated parties must meet Renewable Volume Obligations (RVO) to achieve renewable fuel targets. However, renewable fuels used in ocean-going vessels currently do not generate RINs.

This white paper discusses the eligibility of RINs and the potential for a marine RIN market if the definition of transportation fuel is changed to include ocean-going vessels.
