The undisclosed amount of fossil LNG was delivered via trucks. The inaugural operation marked Molgas’ expansion into the French LNG bunkering market.

“This signifies our commitment to cleaner marine fuels,” Molgas says.

LNG can curb carbon dioxide emissions by about a quarter compared to conventional bunker fuels. But its methane emissions can be 36 times more potent as a greenhouse gas (GHG) compared to carbon dioxide over a century, according to a World Bank study.
