Biomethane’s role in green shipping hangs in the (mass) balance
- Physical limits to production and liquefaction make mass balance crucial
- IMO emissions accounting would have to be robust
- Methane slip and upstream emissions could lessen green benefit
Bio-LNG could be a significant transition fuel for shipping, but only if the IMO allows for mass balancing in emissions accounting, according to the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping
