SEA-LNG Urges European Commission To Protect Liquefied Biomethane Supply Chains
Industry coalition SEA-LNG is urging the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Energy (DG ENER) to protect the mass-balance terminal chain of custody. This comes ahead of expected proposed revisions in 2026 to the implementing framework for the Renewable Energy Directive (RED III).
In SEA-LNG’s latest report, ‘Liquefaction by Equivalence Pathways for Liquefied Biomethane: A Policy Framework to Enable Scalable Maritime Decarbonisation’, SEA-LNG argues that liquefied biomethane (LBM), delivered via mass-balance terminal pathways using liquefaction by equivalence, is the lowest-cost and lowest-emission chain of custody for compliance under FuelEU Maritime and EU ETS.
