The Gate LNG import terminal has its first taker for renewable natural gas (RNG) liquefaction capacity at the Netherlands hub as Germany’s largest importer of the super-chilled fuel looks for opportunities to offset its shipping business.
Uniper SE disclosed it has started using Gate’s capacity to create liquefied natural gas from RNG, often referred to as bio LNG in Europe, to lower emissions from its shipping business.
“The decarbonization of the market for marine and truck fuels will require the use of several low to zero-carbon fuels,” Chief Commercial Officer Carsten Poppinga said. “Bio LNG is among the most important ones. It will contribute to meeting the emission reduction targets of the International Maritime Organization for seagoing vessels, including Uniper’s own LNG fleet.”
