    Getting to 2050 on e-LNG

    2022-08-24T12:00:00Z

    Come 2050, SEA-LNG expects that a basket of future fuels based on hydrogen and produced from renewable electricity will be available for ocean-going ships and e-LNG (also known as renewable synthetic LNG) will be an important one.

  • While long-term comparisons depend upon prevailing fuel price differentials, SEA\LNG expects LNG retrofit to offer significant benefits over a 10-year payback period.
