Increasing air pollution in port cities and strict environmental regulations (e.g. the introduction of the Sulphur directive as of IMO MARPOL Annex VI) made it crucial for the maritime and transport industries to search for alternative fuel and energy sources. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) promises to present a solution for their dilemma.
Project "Go LNG" is a response to the ever-changing situation on the LNG market. It is focused on the development of demand and accessibility of LNG in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR). The project activities are aimed at the implementation of the EU Clean Fuel Strategy and the EU Directive on Deployment of Alternative Fuel Infrastructure in order to establish a strategic approach for the development of LNG infrastructure and promote its usage in the transport industry.
Danish Maritime Days is a major new event for the global maritime industry. It brings together a broad spectrum of stakeholders from across the industry with the objective to find new solutions to the most important challenges facing the industry today and in the future.
With many events – including conferences, briefings, exhibitions, symposia, company visits, receptions and dinners Danish Maritime Days is an opportunity to meet your peers from around world, to make new connections, to be inspired and to pave the way for new partnerships.
One of the discussion panel:
“Low Oil Prices and LNG: Supporting the LNG Infrastructure development in the Baltic Sea Region” was organized within project “Go LNG” and gathered more than 60 LNG business stakeholders from all of the Baltic Sea Region.
During the seminar, the participants looked into actions supporting the continuous LNG development in the Baltic Sea Region. New innovations such as mobile bunkering solutions with intermediate storage tanks, LNG solutions for heavy road transport, and the use of LNG as cooling energy were all presented and eagerly debated at the meeting.
