Exclusive Industry Insights 2026

As the IMO's Net-Zero Framework takes shape, growing attention is being paid to an alternative proposal from Liberia, Panama, and Argentina that could influence its final design. For LNG stakeholders, the debate extends far beyond regulation, with implications for fuel competitiveness, compliance costs, renewable methane pathways, and investment across the global marine fuel value chain.

In this exclusive report, Ryan Harb, Board Member at the American Biogas Council, examines the key differences between the two proposals, why a compromise framework may be the most likely outcome, and what it could mean for LNG, bio-LNG, renewable natural gas (RNG), and e-methane pathways.

Download the Full Report to Learn:

• How the competing frameworks differ: Understand the key distinctions between the IMO's Net-Zero Framework and the Liberia proposal, including their approaches to emissions reduction, affordability, fuel availability, and infrastructure readiness.
• What the debate means for LNG: Explore Ryan Harb's insights on how future greenhouse gas intensity targets, carbon pricing mechanisms, lifecycle emissions accounting, and methane regulations could influence LNG's role in the global marine fuel mix.
• The outlook for bio-LNG and renewable methane: Discover how RNG, bio-LNG, and e-methane could leverage existing LNG infrastructure, and why certification, lifecycle accounting, and carbon-intensity methodologies will be critical to future adoption.
• What happens next: Gain expert analysis on the most likely regulatory outcomes, the prospect of a compromise framework, and the developments LNG stakeholders should be watching most closely.

The IMO's failure to adopt the Net-Zero Framework has created fresh uncertainty for shipowners, fuel suppliers, ports, investors, and policymakers. Yet while regulatory debates continue, the maritime industry continues to invest in alternative fuels, infrastructure, and decarbonization initiatives.

This exclusive interview, After the IMO Setback: How to Rediscover Purpose and Act, featuring insights from Mark Watts, CEO of UK Transport in Europe, provides a timely snapshot of how European maritime leaders are responding to the post-IMO landscape, why LNG remains central to the energy transition, and what industry stakeholders can do to maintain momentum while global policy frameworks evolve.

For North America's LNG community, this interview offers a valuable opportunity to compare perspectives, benchmark strategies, and understand how international markets are preparing for the next phase of maritime decarbonization.

Download the Interview to Learn:

• How Europe is responding to the IMO setback: Why many industry leaders believe the challenge is one of trust, fairness, and leadership rather than technology or ambition.
• Why LNG remains a leading transition fuel and how investment in vessels, bunkering infrastructure, and supply chains continues despite regulatory uncertainty.
• How industry stakeholders are driving progress as shipowners, ports, fuel suppliers, cargo owners, and financiers act while policy catches up.
• What's coming next for global shipping: The commercial, operational, and investment implications of delayed regulation and the opportunities emerging for first movers.
• What North American LNG stakeholders can learn from Europe's response to evolving regulatory and market conditions.

Methane slip has become one of the biggest challenges facing LNG-fueled shipping, with growing pressure from regulators, charterers, financiers, and emissions frameworks placing vessel greenhouse gas performance under greater scrutiny. As LNG adoption accelerates, understanding and mitigating methane emissions is becoming essential for maintaining compliance, competitiveness, and long-term fleet value.

This report, Methane Slip in LNG Shipping 2026: Regulatory Risks, Commercial Implications, and Emerging Solutions, examines the latest regulatory developments, IMO emissions measurement initiatives, and breakthrough technologies helping shipowners reduce methane slip and strengthen LNG's environmental performance.

Download the Full Report to Learn:

• Why methane slip matters: The environmental, regulatory, and commercial implications of methane emissions as LNG-fueled fleets continue to expand.
• How regulation is changing: The latest IMO developments, the shift toward measured emissions, and what evolving greenhouse gas frameworks mean for operators and LNG stakeholders.
• Which technologies are leading the way: How engine upgrades, catalyst systems, and monitoring solutions are delivering methane-slip reductions of up to 94%.
