Navy Says No to LNG as Marine Fuel, Yes to CNG for Land-Based Vehicles

摘要

As the private shipping industry transitions toward LNG as a primary fuel for everything from cargo vessels to passenger cruise liners, the US Navy will embark on a different course. "Because of the increased risk associated with its use in war fighting combatants and aircraft, the Navy does not use and is not considering using LNG or CNG [compressed natural gas] for Navy and Marine war fighting platforms," Navy spokesman Lt. Ben Anderson told Natural Gas Week.
