Australia’s Southern Green Gas unveils plans to produce synthetic LNG at scale

An historic first bunkering of a vessel with synthetic LNG or e-LNG is due to take place in Germany this month — but, on the other side of the world, Australian renewable energy company Southern Green Gas (SGG) has a plan to dramatically scale up production of the carbon-neutral fuel.

SGG managing director Rohan Gillespie told TradeWinds that the company is already in talks with potential buyers, including two shipowners with LNG dual-fuelled newbuildings.
