In Spain, global marine fuel supplier Peninsula is using its first bioLNG delivery at the Port of Cadiz to make a broader case for the fuel as an immediately available way for LNG fueled ships to cut emissions and meet tightening maritime rules. Peninsula says growing supply at major bunkering hubs is making bioLNG easier to incorporate into existing fuel operations.
Made from certified biogenic waste, bioLNG can move through existing LNG supply chains and dual fuel engines. Peninsula says waste based bioLNG can cut lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% compared with conventional marine fuels.
The company also points to FuelEU Maritime, where lower carbon fuels can help operators meet emissions requirements and participate in pooling. Peninsula’s argument is that bioLNG gives existing LNG fleets a fuel they can use now as other marine fuel pathways continue to develop.
