Global liquefied petroleum gas market: Adoption of LPG as marine fuel

The IMO has introduced low sulfur regulation to reduce sulfur emissions from ships, which will be effective from January 1, 2020. All ship owners are expected to reduce their sulfur emissions by 85%. Hence, ships need to use fuel oil with low sulfur content, which has led to the development of a future market for LPG as a marine fuel. The use of LPG can assist ship owners in reducing pollutant emissions.

“The use of LPG virtually eliminates sulfur emissions, thereby enabling ship owners to comply with low sulfur regulations. The reduction of NOx emissions can also be achieved depending on the engine technology. For instance, in case of a two-stroke diesel engine, the NOx emissions could be reduced to 80%-90% with the use of heavy fuel oil,” says a senior research analyst at Technavio.
