Global Status LNG in maritime Norway is at the front line, owning more than 59% of worldwide operational LNG ships. The NOx fund which provides a financial incentive is main driver! As of August 215, globally, about 7 ships were in operation; mostly regional ferries (38%) and platform supply vessels (27%). Fig. Global development of LNG fueled fleet, excluding LNG carriers 8 ships are under construction (expected to be ready by 218). Globally, main driver - strict limit on NOx and sulfur content of marine fuels (.1%), as of January1 st 215 in ECAs; used to be 1% More than 59% of existing ports (North American, European, and Asian ports) already have LNG supply infrastructure or have planned for it. Source: Lloyd's Register Outside ECAs, the current 3.5% sulfur limit will be reduced to.5% by January 1 st, 22

Selected WTT pathways (1)
Selected WTT pathways (2) Pathway acronym Final fuel Pathway description Danish NG mix, distributed through transmission and distribution pipes to grid-connected VRA CNG households/industries. The home-filling facility, called vehicle refuelling appliance (VRA), is assumed to be supplied with a low-pressure grid (4 bar). CNGMF CNGMT CNG Danish NG mix, distributed through transmission and distribution pipes to grid-connected filling stations. The station could be either a fast-fill (CNGMF) or time-fill (CNGMT) station connected with a low-pressure grid. CNGD LNG L-CNG LNG-STS LNG-TTS CRNGD-manure CRNGD-waste CRNGP-manure CRNGP-waste LRNG-waste LRNG-manure CNG LNG CNG/LNG LNG LNG CRNG CRNG LRNG LRNG The same process description as CNGMF pathway, but it represents daughter stations. CNG supplied to the station is assumed to be filled at mother station and transported with truck/cng trailer. Remote LNG production, LNG sea transport to north-western Europe import terminals, distribution by truck/lng trailer to skid-based LNG filling stations. The same as LNG but at filling stations both LNG and CNG are available. Also, includes LNG vaporisation/compression to CNG at skid-based L-CNG. Remote LNG production, LNG sea transport to north western Europe import terminals, distributed by LNG bunkering vessel to bunkering facility at ports (storage tank); ship-to-storage (STS). The same process description as LNG-STS, but LNG assumed to be distributed by truck/lng trailer to bunkering facility at ports (storage tank); truck-to-storage (TTS). Raw biogas production from manure (CRNGD-manure) and municipal organic waste (CRNGD-waste), upgrading and compression to 2 bar, and truck/cng trailer distribution to fast-fill CNG filling station. The same process description as (CRNGD-manure) and municipal organic waste (CRNGD-waste), but the gas is directly injected into the low-pressure grid (4 bar) through plastic pipes. Raw biogas production from waste, upgrading, liquefaction, and local distribution by truck/lng trailer to LNG filling stations. Raw biogas production from manure, upgrading, liquefaction, and local distribution by truck/lng trailer to LNG filling stations.
TTW technologies For HDVs and passenger vessels application: 1. Direct injection compression ignition (DICI): reference vehicle 2. Port injection spark ignition (PISI): 1% CNG/LNG dedicated. 3. Port injection dual fuel (PIDF): 4-6% diesel substitution (diesel and CNG/LNG mixed at the injection port). 4. High pressure direct injection (HPDI): 9-95% diesel substitution (high pressure LNG directly injected into the cylinder head). Engine cycle thermal efficiency: 35% for PISI, 43% for DICI, PIDF, and HPDI engines.
