For the past decade, LNG has emerged as a transitional fuel for shipping, surpassing 1,550 LNG-fueled vessels since 2016. However, methane slip poses a significant challenge, with emissions regulations tightening. Initiatives like MAMII are addressing leakage issues, yet standardization and data accessibility remain critical for effective compliance and emissions tracking.
Daphne Technology and Maran Gas have successfully piloted the SlipPure™ Plasma-Catalytic Methane Slip Aftertreatment system on the LNG carrier Maran Gas Chios. This innovative technology reduced methane slip by up to 4 ± 2 g/kWh, marking a significant advancement in addressing emissions from dual-fuel marine engines and supporting maritime decarbonization efforts.
A Japanese government-backed project has achieved a remarkable 98% reduction in methane emissions during tests on the bulk carrier Reimei. Initially targeting a 70% reduction, the initiative, supported by NEDO, utilized advanced methane oxidation technology. Ongoing evaluations aim for commercialization by FY 2027, marking a significant step in climate action.
