The LNG technology and infrastructure enable\u00a0the usage of fossil-free biogas\u00a0as ship fuel which further reduces air emissions.

It also includes universities and research institutes.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, each organisation will define their own goals in mitigating climate change over the next few years. These goals must seek to improve the current situation and exceeding the current legislative requirements. <\/p>\n<p>In 2020, ESL Shipping\u2019s target is to decrease CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions from the company&#8217;s fleet by 10,000 tons in comparison to its 2019 figures. Furthermore, the carrier aims to perform trials with biogas and renewable diesel together with the Port of Helsinki and the Port of Raahe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe are proud to join the City of Helsinki Climate Partners network.
