Anew Climate and Avenir successfully complete first bio-LNG bunkering
During the operation, Anew supplied certified waste-based Bio-LNG to an Avenir vessel, which transported the product to Sweden for use by vessels operated by Destination Gotland, a Swedish ferry operator, supporting the decarbonization of passenger marine transport. This milestone marks Anew’s first Bio-LNG bunkering project in Europe and follows a series of successful Bio-LNG bunkering operations in North America, advancing the development of global Bio-LNG supply chains.
Avenir deployed the Avenir Ascension for the operation. The 7,500 cbm vessel forms part of Avenir’s fully owned and operated fleet of five modern LNG bunker and supply vessels, with two additional vessels under construction. Operating across Northwest Europe, the Avenir Ascension performs more than 200 operations annually, supplying LNG and Bio-LNG to marine and industrial customers, primarily in the Baltic region.
The Bio‑LNG delivered in Klaipeda is sourced from Anew’s diversified biomethane portfolio and supports near-term emissions reductions. Optimized for negative lifecycle carbon intensity, it meets FuelEU Maritime and RED III requirements and is fully compatible with existing LNG infrastructure-allowing shipowners to reduce emissions without modifying vessels or bunkering systems.
