LNG, a pioneering choice to preserve air quality and energy for the future

LNG is today the best industrial tool for preserving air quality. It eliminates 99% of sulfur oxides, 91% of fine particles, and 92% of nitrogen oxide emissions, going beyond existing regulations. LNG also provides an initial response to the fight against global warming. In fact, an LNG ship emits up to -20% CO2 compared to an oil-fired engine. This technology is one of the first steps to converge towards the objective of carbon neutrality that the CMA CGM Group has set itself by 2050. The CMA CGM Group is thus demonstrating its determination to act for the energy transition of maritime transport.
