This is due to the modular and small size of liquefaction and regasification units.”

According to the report, stringent maritime emission regulations will be a key driver for market growth. The maritime industry is responsible for approximately 2.5% of global GHG emissions. Of this, approximately 80% of the emissions were international in nature, which implies that emissions in international waters do not come under the jurisdiction of any particular country.
