Anew Climate and Seaspan Energy partner to deliver bioLNG for shipping
In North America, Anew Climate, LLC, a diverse climate solutions provider, and Canada-headed Seaspan Energy, a ship-to-ship marine bunkering of liquefied natural gas (LNG) provider and subsidiary of Seaspan ULC have entered into a strategic agreement to offer delivery of renewable liquefied natural gas (R-LNG) to customers on the North American West Coast.
As part of the service offering, Anew Climate will supply biomethane aka renewable natural gas (RNG), certified by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC), and provide pre-audit services to Seaspan Energy required for ISCC certification.
The RNG will comply with global standard frameworks, such as the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Net-Zero Framework and the FuelEU Maritime Regulation in the European Union (EU).
This collaboration represents a first-of-its-kind initiative on North America’s West Coast, offering a more sustainable fuel option for ship owners.
The initiative builds on the first bioLNG (R-LNG) bunkering in the United States (US) that Anew Climate — then known as Element Markets — facilitated in 2021.
At a time when global shipping is under pressure to decarbonize, this partnership brings together two innovators committed to advancing sustainable solutions. By combining Anew’s expertise in RNG with Seaspan’s marine logistics capabilities, we’re offering a market-leading approach to help shipowners meet evolving emissions requirements and reduce their environmental impact without compromising performance, said Andy Brosnan, President, Anew Climate Low Carbon Fuels.
In partnering with Anew Climate, Seaspan Energy will expand its portfolio of offerings to include ISCC-certified R-LNG to customers all along the North American West Coast.
This service offering will be among the first to target the delivery of ISCC-certified lower-carbon marine fuel at scale.
The initiative aligns with emerging guidance from the IMO, which has preliminarily approved measures to encourage emissions reductions like those associated with the use of alternative fuels such as R-LNG.
This partnership marks a significant step forward in delivering scalable, lower-carbon solutions to the maritime industry and accelerating the shift to a cleaner energy future.
We’re proud to collaborate with Anew Climate to forge a new path for lower-carbon marine fuel. This partnership supports our goal to provide cleaner energy solutions to the maritime industry and demonstrates our dedication to innovation and environmental leadership, said Harly Penner, President, Seaspan Energy.
Anew Climate and Seaspan Energy will work together to identify and develop commercial opportunities that promote the adoption of lower-carbon fuels, with a focus on delivering ISCC-certified R-LNG to ships throughout the region.
