Why is it not in common, non-military use? | LNG is currently the most popular lower carbon fuel, but with bio and e-LNG it could move beyond its current transition fuel status supported by extensive existing infrastructure. |

The Motorship’s Propulsion & Future Fuels is the leading international conference on powering shipping’s emissions-cutting ambitions.
The 2026 Conference will take place from 8th - 10th December in Hamburg, Germany and will offer a meeting place to learn, discuss and knowledge-share the latest developments in efficient power and propulsion technology plus alternative low flashpoint and low carbon fuels.
Of all the technologies developed over the last 150 years, nuclear power is arguably the one that has singularly failed to live up to its utmost potential. That applies to most industries including shipping where in commercial terms nuclear power never really took off.
