Navigating towards a lower GHG emissions future
ExxonMobil continues to develop innovative technologies designed to help support the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) ambitions to reduce total lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from international shipping by or around 2050. 1
Offering LNG and bio-LNG expands ExxonMobil’s marine fuel portfolio with additional lower-emission fuel options
Evolving emission regulations are driving interest in alternative marine fuel formulations, including liquefied natural gas (LNG), which has become an increasingly important component in the global maritime fuel mix.2 ExxonMobil has more than 40 years of global leadership experience in LNG, which leaves us well positioned to create innovative integrated solutions. We can leverage our competitive advantages in integration and scale to serve marine customers.
We also remain dedicated to helping vessel operators safely and effectively transition to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emission fuels. For these reasons, ExxonMobil is entering the LNG marine bunkering market to provide lower GHG emission solutions, which may help customers reduce GHG emissions compared with conventional marine fuels (HFO, VLSFO, MGO) and support a lower GHG emission marine future.
The benefits of LNG
Studies have shown LNG as a marine fuel can help reduce lifecycle GHG emissions and other emissions (e.g. SOx, NOx and particulate matter) compared with conventional marine fuels (HFO, VLSFO, MGO).3 In support of the IMO achieving its emission reduction goals, the IMO recognises the use of LNG and bio-LNG as alternative marine fuels.
