SEA/LNG: Norway should play greater role in reducing CO2 emissions

摘要

SEA/LNG, a multi-sector industry coalition that endorses the widespread adoption of LNG as a marine fuel, has released a statement urging Norway to engage more vigorously in multilateral attempts to tackle shipping-related CO2 emissions. In particular SEA/LNG has criticised Norway's introduction of a domestic CO2 tax, arguing that it 'acts as a disincentive for the uptake of an available and low CO2 fuel such as LNG now, as well as future investment in LNG-fuelled ships. As such, the tax will likely lead to an increase in emissions of climate gases, NO_x, sulfur and particulate matter.'
