From Compliance to Competitive Edge: The case for the methane pathway report
Methane is a viable and competitive pathway to achieve the maritime industry’s net-zero ambitions. Get our free report and find out why.
The methane pathway offers a practical route for shipping’s energy transition.
The shipping industry must maximise the potential of lower-carbon fuels available today while preparing for future solutions to meet the industry’s 2050 net-zero emissions ambition.
The methane pathway offers an immediate, proven, and pragmatic solution that keeps the door open for future options. You’ll learn why and how:

The methane pathway:
The report explores how liquefied methane fuels can support shipping’s transition toward lower lifecycle GHG emissions1. Starting with LNG and bio-LNG, and incorporating synthetic LNG as it becomes commercially viable.
Emissions performance:
Lifecycle emissions performance is examined across LNG, bio-LNG and synthetic LNG, alongside how blending these fuels can help meet voluntary or regulatory carbon-intensity targets.
Scalability and future readiness:
All liquefied methane fuels can be distributed via the existing and expanding LNG infrastructure and gas grid, enabling faster scale-up of bio- and synthetic LNG. Discover the role of infrastructure as a key enabler of emissions reduction.

“The time to act is now. I invite policymakers, industry leaders and stakeholders to join us in defining greater clarity and confidence in the path forward. This is the opportunity to shape a future where all viable alternative marine fuels, including liquefied methane, play a vital role in accelerating the energy transition.
The shipping sector must be empowered to thrive – managing risk and affordability while turning today’s compliance into tomorrow’s competitive edge.”
