Planning for LNG ships powered by gas turbines

摘要

Rolls-Royce argues the case for future LNG tonnage to be powered by gas turbo-electric propulsion plant featuring the company's newest MT30 aero-derivative turbine. With natural gas now the fastest growing source of primary energy in the world, and global demand expected to double within 15 years, LNG shipping is currently receiving unprecedented levels of attention. Shipping is of course just one element of the LNG supply process, but one that becomes increasingly important as route lengths increase and train volumes continue to grow.
