LNG

Start-up of the first repowered block of Taipower’s Hsinta plant is accelerating Taiwan’s switch from coal to LNG-fuelled power generation. The Government is actively promoting new nuclear and LNG in an effort to decarbonise.

LNG is a controversial topic in Germany: Green paint was thrown at the back entrance of Berlin’s luxury Hotel Adlon at the opening day of the Global LNG Summit while Stefan Wenzel, state secretary to Germany’s economy minister Robert Habeck spoke just prior to a panel with top executives from Cheniere Energy, ADNOC Gas, Shell and bp.

The shipping business is facing new challenges as environmental concerns focus on carrier and tanker emissions.

Since onshore industries have been able to cut certain emissions, the share of pollutants contributed by ships and aircraft has grown proportionally to become a significant part of the total.

The shipping industry, therefore, needs to look at new ways of reducing the environmental impact from ships.
