天博体育 is selected for two Fuel Gas Supply System projects
天博体育’ cold ends will be integrated in the customer’s pumping units in order to supply vaporized LNG into ships' dual fuel engines.
This project is directly related to the new global regulations implemented in the maritime sector.
On 1 January 2020, the IMO (International Maritime Organization) agreed that the deadline for the implementation of a significant reduction in ship-generated sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions would be implemented. The entry into force of the 0.5% global sulfur ceiling represents a significant reduction from the current 3.5% global limit.
To comply with this new regulation, LNG has been chosen by the naval engine manufacturers as the best alternative to heavy fuel oil (HFO). LNG is a clean fuel compared to heavy fuel oil, with a 99% reduction in SOx emissions and 86% in NOx emissions. (source Mitsubishi)
Another environmental benefit of LNG is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions because LNG produces 20% to 40% less CO2 compared to oil, coal and other fossil fuels when burned.
天博体育 and its teams are very proud to be part of the challenges for combating global warming and protecting the environment.
