In LNG Bunkering, Conventional Marine Fuels Or LNG Are Transferred To A Vessel Or Facility
LNG Bunkering |
Although Liquefied
Natural Gas (LNG) is a
long-term, viable option that satisfies the new emission regulations, the
technology to use LNG for ships is still in its infancy. LNG
Bunkering
activities necessitate a unique infrastructure and protocol due to the
cryogenic nature of LNG. However, it appears that the methods recommended in
the literature are merely thoughts or ideas that have not been thoroughly
quantitatively evaluated. Everyone Uses a Unisim Dynamic Simulation (DS) model
of the LNG Bunkering system.
The main drawbacks of the current protocol have been
identified as follows: a) the length of the inerting and purging processes; b)
the GHG emissions (methane/CO2) produced by repeated inerting and purging
operations; c) the high cost of inerting gas; and d) improper pressure control
leading to increased Boil-Off Gas (BOG) generation. In particular for busy
bunkering ports/facilities, these flaws will have a significant influence on the
safety and operating costs of an LNG bunkering system.
According to Coherent
Market Insights, Global LNG bunkering market was valued at US$ 592.84 Million
in 2021 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 35.26% during the forecast
period (2022 to 2030).
LNG Bunkering is the process of giving a ship its
own personal supply of liquefied natural gas. The IMO restriction on marine
fuel's sulphur content is expected to accelerate industry expansion.
Additionally, it is predicted that increased gas exploration and production
will spur growth. Despite the motivating forces, it is predicted that the
demand-supply imbalance for LNG bunkering will restrain expansion. Due to
temporary import and export limitations during the COVID-19 epidemic, the
growth declined. However, a rebound from dropping revenues is projected for the
industry in the second half of 2021 due to an increase in demand for LNG as
bunker fuel from the maritime transportation.
MO rule regarding marine fuel's sulphur content. A new
sulphur content restriction for ship fuel was announced by the IMO, or
International Maritime Organization, in January 2020. The sulphur content of
marine gasoline used on board ships operating outside of authorised emission
control areas is now restricted to 0.50% m/m under a new standard known as IMO
2020. Compared to the earlier maximum of 3.5%, this is a significant decrease.
This regulation has raised demand for liquefied natural gas, which has a very
low sulphur content.
