Hapag-Lloyd and Shell sign bio-LNG supply agreement

In Germany, Hapag-Lloyd and Shell Western LNG B.V. have signed a multi-year agreement for the supply of liquefied biomethane starting with immediate effect. The agreement builds on a strategic collaboration established in 2023 to accelerate the decarbonization of alternative marine fuels. 

Biomethane, also known as Bio-LNG, plays a significant role in Hapag-Lloyd’s decarbonization strategy, which aims to achieve net-zero fleet operations by 2045, by enabling emissions reductions across its fleet and supporting customers in their efforts to decarbonize their supply chains.
Since 2024, Shell has expanded its offering to include liquefied biomethane, which is now available at 22 strategic locations within its global LNG bunkering network. 

The liquefied biomethane supplied to Hapag-Lloyd is ISCC EU certified, which ensures sustainability of the feedstock production, traceability of sustainable products through the supply chain, and credible, verified reductions of life cycle emissions.
