Methanol and LNG are battling for top spot as the future fuel of choice for shipowners. That's how TradeWinds has reported on DNV's Alternative Fuel Insights findings for 2023. Methanol went mainstream and ammonia emerged as a serious contender for shipowners in what was a big 12 months for the industry. Read more here:

Octane rating measures the performance of Gasoline (Petrol) and other fuels. A higher Octane rating indicates fuel resistance to engine knocking or pinging caused premature ignition. Which is your preferred grade for your motor vehicle? #Petroleum #oilandgas #shipping #Energy #cif

Note to all Fleet Managers Shell V-Power premium fuels V-Power Diesel is Shell's best ever performance fuel and improves your engine’s fuel economy. Removes and protects from the build up of performance robbing deposits on key fuel system components such as intake valves and/or fuel injectors. Improved fuel economy using Shell V-Power fuels has been demonstrated in industry standard and Shell proprietary tests. If you are not using V Power then why? #fleetnetix #shell #premiumfuel #fuelquality #fleetefficiency

More flares turned off! We just installed a new ZerO2 E300 in the Bakken capturing 100% of the tank vapor, eliminating this client's routine flaring and generating revenue.  Learn how you can Dramatically Lower Emissions and Increase Revenue: https://lnkd.in/eU5XucBK #flaring #oilgas #oilandgas #bakken #eliminateflaring #emissionsmanagement

An LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) vehicle is a type of vehicle that uses liquefied natural gas as its fuel. LNG is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state, at about -162°C (-260°F), for ease and safety of non-pressurized storage or transport. Key features of LNG vehicles include: 1. Fuel Storage: LNG is stored in insulated tanks to keep it in its liquid state. The insulation is necessary to maintain the low temperature required for LNG. 2. Fuel System: The vehicle has a fuel system designed to handle LNG, including components to convert the liquid gas back into a gaseous state before it is used in the engine. 3. Engine Types: LNG vehicles can be powered by internal combustion engines similar to those that run on gasoline or diesel, or by specially designed natural gas engines. 4. Applications: LNG vehicles are commonly used for heavy-duty applications such as trucks, buses, and maritime vessels. They are particularly valued for their longer range compared to compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles and for their lower emissions compared to diesel. 5. Environmental Benefits: LNG is considered a cleaner fuel alternative, producing fewer emissions of sulfur, particulates, and nitrogen oxides compared to diesel and gasoline. LNG vehicles are part of a broader effort to use alternative fuels to reduce dependence on petroleum and to lower the environmental impact of transportation. #lngfuel

Please take note of the following items during the project selection stage: - Engine type - Main Engine Load profile for anticipated trade - Electrical load chart (How you plan to use the 4-stroke sets) - Primary source of fuel gas for your customers (LNG or BOG extraction) - Availability of space for emission abatement solutions, in case it is not already installed on your engines you plan to retrofit later. This is a straightforward list of items that need to be considered. Anyting missing?

Few insights on LNG shipping (2023) - Total LNG tanker fleet consisted of 772 vessels. 576 of these have membrane containment system. -Average spot charter rate for a 160,000 m3 TFDE carrier stood at $97,100 / day compared to an average of $131,500 / day in 2022 - 41 vessels were delivered in 2023 compared with 35 vessels in 2022 - New orders reached a total of 66 units compared with 178 new orders in 2022 - At the end of 2023, the Order book consisted of 341 units. This represents 51% of existing fleet capacity -89 new ships are expected to be delivered in CY 24 As the energy landscape continues to evolve, it's clear that LNG will play a significant role in the transition to a lower-carbon future. #LNGshipping #energytransition

🚢 ⚠️ LNG tankers to blame for 82% of shipping’s methane emissions in 2021 the report indicated that a staggering 98% of methane emissions in 2021 originated from low-pressure engines, known for their higher methane slip compared to high-pressure alternatives. Within this category, low-pressure, dual-fuel, four-stroke (LPDF 4-stroke) engines claimed the majority (86%) of emissions. These engines, commonly favored by LNG carriers, were noted for their estimated higher methane slip. https://lnkd.in/geJW4j-Q #LNG #methane #emissions #LPDF #propulsion #LNGshipping
