Using LNG delivers outstanding macro-economic savings.
Applicable European legislation prescribes 20% and 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, in accordance with Directive 94/2014/EU establishing alternative fuels and the necessary infrastructure. Member States are also required to develop plans (national policy framework) to create a network of stations for natural gas in cities, ports and the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). Ensuring security of supply with less dependence on imported oil, which is used in the transport sector, in addition to the diversification of supply, is one of the key reasons for promoting the use of LNG in freight transport.
LNG as the fuel of the future plays an important role because:
- More natural gas resources than oil resources are available nowadays,
- increasing the ability of liquefaction capacity, thereby increasing the supply of LNG even where there is no pipeline
- LNG engine technology has great potential for increasing efficiency,
- leading manufacturers are currently working on developing new trucks, engines and optimizing consumption,
- substantially lower emission of dust particles, because the combustion in the atmosphere do not emit sulphur, heavy metals and carbon black, also produce less carbon dioxide,
- significantly less noise pollution.
