Total LNG ship aims
June 8 (LNGJ) - French energy major Total has joined the “Getting to Zero Coalition” for shipping launched at the last United Nations climate summit. It comprises over 120 organisations and has been endorsed by governments of 14 countries, including France and the UK. Total said it was already actively working on improving the environmental footprint of the shipping industry through the development of LNG bunkering. It has also recently announced the long-term chartering of two LNG-propelled Very Large Crude Carriers.
“As a major energy player, Total is already developing cleaner fuels for the maritime industry,” said Patrick Pouyanné, President and Chief Executive of Total. “We want to push innovation and foster collective actions with all the stakeholders,” he added.
