LNG could supply up to 10% of the marine bunkering market as more companies wake up to its potential, according to French energy major Total.

Xavier Pfeuty, general manager of LNG at Total, told the CWC World LNG Summit in Rome that his company sees the volume of LNG used for marine bunkers climbing to 10 million tonnes per annum by 2025 and expanding to 20 mtpa by 2030, adding that these estimates are on the conservative side.
