Titan’s mission is to decarbonize shipping by supplying Liquefied Biomethane (LBM) – also known as Liquefied Biogas (LBG) or BioLNG – and other carbon neutral fuels such as hydrogen-derived methane – also known as eLNG or renewable synthetic LNG.
In the future, Titan will also deliver additional carbon neutral fuels that prove safe, scalable, and commercially viable. It is anticipated that this will take at least 5-10 years for green methanol and green ammonia.
Titan’s fuels have the potential to reduce direct GHG emissions by more than 100%, making them suitable to deliver on ambitious reduction targets. Their ‘drop-in’ ability for LNG-suited assets enables any blending percentage from 1% -100%, allowing for a gradual and flexible transition.
The European Union’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) will incorporate commercial shipping. The industry’s inclusion within the world’s largest carbon market will have a profound impact on maritime operations.
The new regulations pose key commercial challenges to shipping companies. However, there are significant opportunities for those who have a clear strategy in place.
The emissions and cost reductions of low and zero carbon fuels, can be the difference between a company attaining or maintaining competitive advantage or not.

Liquefied biomethane (LBM) is also referred to as bioLNG or liquefied biogas (LBG).
This readily available ‘drop-in’ fuel can reduce your direct GHG emissions by more than 100%. It is produced from biobased feedstock such as municipal organic waste, agricultural residues, or manure. Titan offers ISCC-certified LBM only, which means that it never competes with food production chains and gives our customers the most comfort available today on trackability.
Hydrogen-derived methane is also referred to as eLNG or renewable synthetic LNG and prolongs the pathway of dual-fuelled vessels going forward into a decarbonised era.
Hydrogen-derived methane is made from hydrogen produced from (renewable) electricity combined with CO2. When combined with CO2 capturing technologies, this fuel has a great GHG reduction potential, especially when the CO2 is originating from biogenic sources.
Titan offers various carbon emissions offset products and certificates to achieve net GHG reduction targets and comply with legislation regarding emissions from our customer on shore and at sea. These certificates and credits could offset (part of) the emissions from activities using (fossil) fuels.
In July 2021, the European Commission presented its ‘Fit for 55’ package containing a variety of policy proposals that may have a serious impact on the shipping industry. The package will impact shipping activities and urge a shift to cleaner practices by introducing or amending the following regulations and directives: EU ETS, REDII, and FuelEU. Although the package is not ratified by the member states and its content will change, it is clear that it will change the “playing field” in favour of lower carbon fuels including LNG.
Titan’s renewable fuels are fully ISCC-certified and compliant to the most stringent climate legislation, including RED-II, EU ETS, and FuelEU Maritime.
Furthermore, Titan’s climate offset and certificates offering also helps to comply to a variety of national and EU-wide regulations.
Titan Clean Fuels and Hapag-Lloyd have reached a significant milestone in sustainable shipping with the largest-ever ship-to-ship bunkering of liquefied biomethane (LBM). At the Port of Rotterdam, 2,200 metric tons of LBM were delivered to a Hapag-Lloyd container vessel, marking its first step in adopting this low-emission fuel. This achievement demonstrates the feasibility of large-scale LBM bunkering and sets a compelling example of how renewable fuels can drive down emissions in the shipping industry.
This milestone reflects the growing commitment to decarbonize maritime transport, showing that practical, scalable solutions are ready to help shipping companies reduce their carbon footprints and work toward long-term sustainability goals.
