TotalEnergies, an energy company, has launched a worldwide drone-based emissions detection and quantification campaign across all its upstream Oil & Gas operated sites.

While LNG has been among the most-discussed solutions to shipping industry’s decarbonization pathway, the often-unplanned methane slip as a result from LNG combustion is the main argument of “LNG as a marine fuel” opponents. What does “methane slip” exactly refer to?

CMA CGM is joining the partners of the Jupiter 1000 industrial demonstrator project piloted by GRTgaz in Fos-sur-Mer. This installation aims to produce green hydrogen from renewable power and also e-methane.

SEA-LNG, a multi-sector marine fuel coalition, says that methane slip from LNG-fuelled vessels is a recognised problem that the maritime industry has been actively addressing for well over a decade.

T&E investigation into LNG ships uncovers significant amounts of invisible methane being released into the atmosphere.

bp ventures has made a £3 million investment in Flylogix, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) business that uses drones to help in methane detection. 

The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) started a new project, FUgitive Methane Emissions from Ships (FUMES), in collaboration with Danish-based Explicit ApS and the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO).

Hitachi Zosen, MOL, and Yanmar Power Technologies (YPT), have received Approval in Principle for the Methane Oxidation Catalyst System from ClassNK. The system reduces methane slip by placing a methane oxidation catalyst in an LNG fuel engine and oxidizing the methane.

The European Commission has adopted a set of legislative proposals to decarbonise the EU gas market by facilitating the uptake of renewable and low carbon gases, including hydrogen.

SEA-LNG voiced its support for the Global Methane Pledge, which says is positive news for LNG as a marine fuel.
