LNG AS FUEL FOR TRANSPORT

CLEANER ALTERNATIVE TO DIESEL

MARITIME FUEL: HOW TO MEET THE LIMIT?

IMO regulations: Sulphur content shipping fuel limit

from 3,5% to 0,5% globally in 2020, or 2025

5

Operable? “Waste (absorbent)

handling and regulation?”

Available? “Distillate capacity

and pricing”

Deliverable? “Safe distribution at

small scale?”

Discussed ECA

MGO, MDO, AGO SCRUBBERS LNG

ROAD FUEL: EFFECT ON HEAVY DUTY?

6

Oil based fuels: Global demand growth and environmental challenges

Affordable? “Extensive auxiliaries

needed”

Available & Feasible “Capacity &

Technology fit”

Deliverable? “Safe and cost effective

distribution at small scale?”

CLEAN ALTERNATIVES

Biofuels, hybrid, electric, H2

DIESEL EURO 6 Mature Technology

LNG FOR TRUCKING

Integrated CNG for light duty

HOW?

DRIVERS

Availability and accessibility of

Natural Gas (LNG)

Lower emissions (Nox, Sox, PM and

Noise)

Low cost alternative to diesel

CHALLENGES

Cost effectiveness supply and

fuelling infrastructure

Vehicle technology (fuel systems)

Regulatory development,

Safety codes, regulations and

standards.

“HOW DOES THIS DEVELOP OVER TIME?”

WHAT?

BACKGROUND: LNG SAFETY PROGRAM

Introduction of LNG for Transport in the Netherlands (National LNG Platform)

Complex permit procedures for LNG fueling infrastructure

Missing input for design regulation (PGS33), Risk calculations and

emergency response protocols

Establishment of the LNG safety program:

• Project partners: TNO and NEN

• Cooperation: Private partners, Health and Safety and Emergency Response

• Execution: TNO and contractors DNVGL en BAM

• Organisation: Steering Group and Technical Expert Committee


KNOWLEDGE BASE LNG SAFETY

Liquefied Natural Gas for intercontinental gas export since 1964:



LNG mature technology for large scale shipping, what about bringing it here?:



LNG for Transport brings different

safety challenges:

Larger probability of failure?

Smaller effect?

Failure scenarios?

Robustness cryogenic equipment?

How to respond in case of incident?

Comparable to LPG?

Knowledge in other countries?


THE ROLE OF EXPERIMENTAL

VALIDATION AND MODELING

30 October 2015

13 | Cryogenic vacuum tank fire tests 2015

The failure behavior of hoses: leak before failure?

Over-rides:

Wear:

Tollerance:

THE ROLE OF EXPERIMENTAL

VALIDATION AND MODELING

Heat load resistance:


Test, model, verify and predict.

IMPLEMENTATION IN REGULATION,

CODES AND STANDARDS

Experience:

No development without understanding;

No understanding without testing;

No understanding without sharing.

Final report Q1 2016


TNO R&D COLLABORATION ON LNG

Currently running Joint Industry Projects (JIPs):

Engine effect studies and chain analyses,

Research on LNG transfer and bunkering systems,

LNG material and construction research program,

LNG composition and level sensor development,

Safe LNG storage on board,

LNG safety program (National LNG Platform)
