UECC announced that its vessels are set to sail on biomethane supplied by Titan for rest of 2024 and most of 2025.
United European Car Carriers (UECC) and Titan Clean Fuels (Titan) have signed a new agreement that will see the vast majority of Liquified Gas supplied by Titan to UECC’s multi-fuel ships to have them run on biomethane (LBM/bio-LNG) for the remainder of 2024 and then most of 2025. This deal expands upon UECC and Titan’s established commitment to use LBM. Since 1 July 2024, over 95% of the fuel delivered to UECC’s pure car and truck carriers (PCTCs) by Titan has been LBM, resulting in avoidance more than 30,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases emitted.
According to Titan’s analysis, the quantity of LBM in 2025, which Titan and UECC are realistically targeting, will avoid more than 75,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases being emitted. Using LBM over oil-based fuels also virtually eliminates harmful local emissions Black Soot and other Particular Matters (PM), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Sulphur Oxides (SOx).
Through our CO2 registry, this agreement offers our customers the opportunity to significantly reduce their scope three emissions, and we appreciate those that have already jumped at the offer.
…said Daniel Gent, Energy & Sustainability Manager, UECC.
Daniel Gent continued by commenting that Toyota Motor Europe, Ford of Europe and two other major European vehicle manufacturer quickly signed up to Green Gas Month in July 2024, and following its success every month will now essentially be Green Gas Month.
This agreement highlights that, just like LNG before it, LBM is quickly becoming a standardized product and gaining popularity as it is recognized as future fuel.
…stated Caspar Gooren, Commercial Director Renewable Fuels, Titan.
Gooren commented that the LBM delivery scale and consistency able to achieve is, in part, thanks to robust mass balancing processes and related liquefaction LNG terminal infrastructure in the region. “It’s now time for the whole of Europe and the world to follow suit”, urged Caspar Gooren.
This announcement follows news that UECC has invested in two new multi-fuel car carriers to be delivered in 2028, with the option to add two more.
