LNG
The cleanest fuel for trucks
LNG stands for Liquefied Natural Gas. For many years, natural gas has been used in our homes but also as fuel in the transport industry.
It is mainly used for heavy duty means of transport such as trucks and large ships. It is the cleanest fuel currently in use in the transport industry.
Appropriate for long distanceThe gas in the fuel tank of a truck or vessel is no longer cooled down. The tank insulation keeps the temperature low. Continuous use keeps the pressure and temperature stable. This makes the fuel especially appropriate for trucks and vessels that never stop for long due to financial reasons. |
Production processNatural gas is liquefied (i.e. LNG) by cooling it down to -162 C. The volume decreases by a factor of 600. This makes it easier to transport the LNG to the tank and bunker stations and the amount of gas in a truck or vessel fuel tank is higher, which increases the range of the vehicle. |
Why use LNG?
- Much lower hazardous substance emissions.
- Lower noise pollution.
- Contribution to your sustainability objectives.
CleanerLNG combustion is much cleaner than diesel combustion: 30% less health damage (PM10 and NOx) than diesel Euro VI standard and 20% less CO2 emissions [1]. LNG transport already meets the emission standards set for cargo transport and shipping. Without requiring additional measures! |
Lower noise pollutionAn LNG engine is 50% quieter than a diesel engine. This means that Peak certification for cargo transport is allowed, which, in turn allows for loading and unloading outside the usual time windows. |
