Titan Clean Fuels and MOL first to bunker bio-LNG with fossil-based LNG

In the Netherlands, Titan Clean Fuels and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines have completed the first LNG and liquefied biomethane (bio-LNG) bunkering operation of a new multi-delivery contract for MOL’s vehicle carrier fleet.

On March 16, Titan’s Alice Cosulich LNG bunkering vessel delivered 500 tons of bio-LNG and 400 tons of conventional LNG to the Celeste Ace vehicle carrier. The simultaneous operation (SIMOPS) bunkering took place in the Port of Zeebrugge’s International Car Operators (ICO) terminal.

Titan’s delivery of ISCC-EU certified mass balanced bio-LNG marks the first bio-LNG delivery of a series of deliveries to the Japanese shipping company. The bio-LNG was produced using waste and residue, which reduces GHG emissions by up to 100% compared to marine diesel on a well-to-wake basis. LNG, bio-LNG, and renewable hydrogen-derived e-methane, can be blended at any ratio and ‘dropped into’ existing LNG bunkering infrastructure with little to no modification.
