Although oil and gas companies often promote LNG as a &quot;reliable and clean&quot; alternative that is significantly more sustainable compared to heavy fuel oil, one of the world&#039;s most polluting fuels, the study suggests that this may not be entirely accurate. There are currently nearly 1,200 LNG-powered ships in operation worldwide, with shipping companies on order for another nearly 1,000. T&amp;E also previously estimated that up to a quarter of EU shipping could be LNG-powered by 2030.
