據世界天然氣12月15日消息稱，道達爾能源在其新的海上運輸能源轉型的白皮書中預測，到 2025 年，液化天然氣燃料市場可能達到每年 1000 萬噸。

新的白皮書被稱為“清潔船用燃料的驅動力”。它為航運運營商提供了指導其船隊短期到長期能源轉型的見解。

這份44頁的白皮書著眼于推動航運脫碳的關鍵因素。

道達爾能源的Jér?me Leprince-Ringuet說：“我們希望幫助更好地了解船東和運營商在走向未來海洋燃料景觀的過程中，對關鍵領域和需要解決的問題有更好的理解。”

這家法國能源巨頭將航運業向液化天然氣的轉型視為燃料，液化天然氣船舶訂單的持續增長證明了這一點。目前，大約有 230 艘液化天然氣燃料船在運營。液化天然氣燃料船占訂單總噸位的 30% 以上。這是根據克拉克森 2021 年 10 月的數據得出的。

道達爾能源預測，到 2025 年，液化天然氣燃料供應市場將達到每年 1000 萬噸，到2030 年將占燃料供應市場的10%。

一些領先的港口和液化天然氣燃料供應商已經制定了關鍵計劃，并取得了重大進展，以支持這些發展。截至2020年12月底，克拉克森記錄了124個擁有液化天然氣加油設施的港口，高于年初的114個。該機構還預測，到2022年，這一數字將增加到170個。

此外，該公司預計，在未來兩年內，液化天然氣加油船隊的規模將增加一倍。

TotalEnergies: LNG bunker market could reach 10 MTPA by 2025

The LNG bunker market could reach ten million tonnes a year by 2025, TotalEnergies Marine Fuels forecasts in its new white paper on marine transport energy transition.

The new white paper is called ‘The Drive for Cleaner Marine Fuels‘. It offers shipping operators insights to navigate their vessel fleet’s energy transition in the short to long-term.

This 44-page white paper looks at the key drivers shaping the move to shipping decarbonisation.

Jér?me Leprince-Ringuet from TotalEnergies said: “We hope to help develop a greater understanding of the key areas and considerations ship owners and operators will need to address, as they move towards tomorrow’s marine fuels landscape.”

The French energy major sees shipping’s transition to LNG as fuel evident in the continued rise of LNG-fuelled ship orders. Currently, there are approximately 230 LNG-fuelled vessels operating. LNG-fuelled vessels represent more than 30 per cent of the total gross tonnage on order. This is according to Clarksons’ October 2021 data.

TotalEnergies forecasts the LNG bunker market could reach ten million tonnes a year by 2025 and represent 10 per cent of the bunkering market by 2030.

Several leading ports and LNG bunker suppliers have established key initiatives and made significant progress to support these developments. As of the end of December 2020, Clarksons recorded 124 ports with LNG bunkering facilities, up from 114 at the start of the year. It also forecasts this will increase to 170 by 2022.

In addition, it projects that the LNG bunkering fleet will double in size in the next two years.
