Since January 2025, vessels above 5,000 GRT calling at EU ports have had to cut the greenhouse gas intensity of the energy they use — 2% now, 6% by 2030, and far steeper after that. The regulation doesn’t care how you get there. It cares about the number.
For LNG-fuelled ships, bio-LNG is the least disruptive route. No new engine, no new bunkering infrastructure, no waiting for a fuel that doesn’t yet exist at scale. Certified bio-LNG counts as zero well-to-tank, which moves the intensity figure immediately.
What it does require is a certificate that survives verification, and a supply arrangement that matches your bunkering schedule rather than the spot market’s mood.
bGX sources certified bio-LNG and structures multi-year supply for fleets that need a number they can bank on.
