Molgas Energy Group, a leading LNG and Bio-LNG bunkering company in Europe, has achieved a major milestone in the energy transition by starting the supply of Bio-LNG at the Port of Zeebrugge. This new initiative marks a significant step in providing sustainable, low-carbon energy solutions across Europe.
The first Bio-LNG deliveries began in January, and operations have continued smoothly, supported by Molgas’ robust logistics network, which ensures deliveries with a negative carbon intensity (CI) score.
With multiple deliveries already completed and more scheduled in the coming weeks, this development highlights Molgas’ role in the global push for cleaner fuels in maritime operations. The company’s ability to supply Bio-LNG, a fuel with zero carbon emissions, is a key enabler in meeting the FuelEU Maritime regulation, which aims to reduce emissions in the maritime sector and supports the decarbonisation of shipping.
Port of Zeebrugge: A Key Hub for Bio-LNG Fueled Vessels
The Port of Zeebrugge serves as a critical hub for Bio-LNG fueled vessels, and Molgas’ operation there strengthens its importance as a key location in the energy transition. The port’s strategic position allows vessels to meet the FuelEU Maritime requirements, with Molgas Energy providing the infrastructure and supply chain necessary to support the growing demand for sustainable marine fuels.
To optimize the delivery process, Molgas Energy utilizes a Multi Truck to Ship (MTTS) method, which enables the simultaneous delivery of 200-300 tons of Bio-LNG to vessels. This simultaneous operation (SIMOPS) process demonstrates Molgas’ commitment to operational excellence and flexibility, ensuring that deliveries do not disrupt vessel operations and are completed safely and efficiently.
Bio-LNG: A Key Fuel for Maritime Decarbonisation
As the shipping industry works to meet IMO 2050 emissions targets, Bio-LNG is emerging as a critical fuel for reducing the carbon footprint of maritime transport. With its negative CI score and sustainable production process, Bio-LNG presents an effective solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in shipping operations. Molgas Energy’s delivery of Bio-LNG at the Port of Zeebrugge not only supports the maritime industry’s decarbonisation efforts but also provides a cost-effective and scalable solution to achieve zero-emission targets.
Molgas Energy continues to expand its role in the transition to cleaner fuels, demonstrating its commitment to a more sustainable future for the maritime sector and beyond.
