The strategic and industrial partnership has the ambition of supporting the development of a synthetic methane and liquefied biomethane (BioLNG) bunker fuel, including the associated production and distribution industries for those fuels.

An initial project to produce BioLNG for shipping has already been launched by both groups at the Port of Marseille, in partnership with Métropole Aix-Marseille-Provence and TotalEnergies.

The partnership between CMA CGM and ENGIE will facilitate the sharing of both groups’ knowledge and R&D work, most notably in key technologies such as carbon capture and green hydrogen production. It also covers the analysis of future regulations, as well as efforts to raise awareness of the benefits of BioLNG and synthetic methane for the decarbonization of the shipping industry.

Using LNG as a fuel, CMA CGM says it has been able to reduce overall carbon emissions by 4% in 2020, following a 6% reduction in 2019. The company also reports lowering its carbon emissions per container-kilometer by 49% since 2008.

ENGIE is already leading synthetic methane industrial projects, which it says CMA CGM will be able to invest in, including through multi-year purchase agreements. The projects use pyro-gasification or methanation using green hydrogen and captured CO2.
