@RoyalCaribbean is touting #LNG as a "clean" fuel for their cruises and a big step towards a clean energy future. It's not.
Their new LNG-powered cruise #IconoftheSeas is 5x the size of the Titanic! Help us hold them accountable.

1/ Banking on Liquefied “Natural” Gas #LNG to power our industry, heat our homes, and cook our meals is a TERRIBLE idea.
Check the facts in the new LNG Economic Visual Guide—endorsed by 19 groups—to see why the numbers just don’t add up 🔢

⚠️ As #Japan and #Greece ramp up #LNG ship orders, our analysis shows how LNG shipping fuels 12.7B t CO₂e annually. Top banks like @mufgbk_official & @jpmorgan Chase back $127B in finance, locking in decades of fossil-gas. It’s time to stop new orders and shift both private and public finance to clean energy🔗https://t.co/npRym2RZD2

🚢 LNG shipping is locking in decades of emissions, at massive climate and financial cost.
Our latest press releases highlights how global LNG carriers are enabling 12.7 billion tonnes of CO2e emissions annually, with new ships still being ordered despite oversupply and net-zero pledges.
Shipowners, banks, and public financiers must act now: no new LNG carriers, full emissions transparency, and capital redirected toward a just transition.

Interesting @OurOceanOOC side event from @forourclimate & partners on electrified vessels. 👀 Showing what's possible beyond #LNG for a sustainable shipping future. Happening on April 29 in Busan!
📢Come connect with SFOC at the 10th Our Oceans Conference in Busan!
🌊SFOC, in partnership with the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO) is hosting an #OOC10 Side Event titled “Electrified Vessels: Bridging Shipping Decarbonization, Marine Biodiversity and Coastal Sustainability.”
🚢This dynamic session will shed light on how the adoption of electrified vessels can not only accelerate the decarbonizing of the shipping sector but protect marine biodiversity🪸and help promote the sustainability of coastal communities.

🌍78 organizations from Europe & beyond call on US Department of Energy to deny all pending & future #fossilgas#LNG export projects!
LNG is a #climateBomb that harms #HumanRights, as Europe will & must continue its steep reduction in dirty gas demand.

We have joined these organizations calling on the US Department of Energy to deny all pending and future permits for dirty US #LNG export expansion projects. Full letter here: https://t.co/PcJMS5P8NM
As #Trump takes office, 78 European & international groups say NO to harmful #LNG, which mostly comes from dirty #fracking.
In its study, the US Department of Energy acknowledges many LNG issues.
It must now deny all authorizations for export expansion!

"Civil society initiated a new framework for action on #methane which should be championed by all #Arctic Council members, the #BeyondMethanePledge focuses on rapidly phasing out methane based Liquefied Natural Gas (#LNG) as a marine fuel."

Germany To Shut Down Key #LNG Terminal In 2025 https://t.co/TROktpMrGw That's on top of one non-operational & one barely operational ... As you can see GER really needs up to 9 #frackedgas#LNG import terminals otherwise poor grannies freeze to death ... gimme a #fracking break!
@ASA_UK@MSC_Cruises_UK 🛳️ Our Legal Manager, Kirsty Mitchell, said: “It’s high time the cruise industry is called out for its systemic misleading advertising.
LNG leaks methane, a GHG >80x more damaging than CO2 over 20 years. It is not a solution consistent with the Paris Agreement 1.5C goal.”

🚨 Greenwashing win! 🚨
⚖️ After nine months of investigation by @ASA_UK, @MSC_Cruises_UK agrees to withdraw ads suggesting that fossil LNG is a ‘green’ fuel, and commits to being clear with consumers in future environmental claims.

3/ #LNG is often marketed as a “clean” and “transition” fuel. But in all honesty LNG is a fossil fuel, and its extraction, transport, and use contribute significantly to the #ClimateCrisis.
The industry uses #greenwashing tactics to justify its expansion.
Advocates at #COP29 are demanding an end to fossil fuel reliance to safeguard marine biodiversity. @jepestela of @CEEDphilippines highlighted the urgent need to phase out fossil fuels and hold the industry accountable for their inflicted losses and damages.
Today, we joined nearly 300 organizations in calling on the Biden administration to use the time he has left to stop the expansion of LNG infrastructure.
The science is clear: We can't afford any new LNG projects if we are to limit warming to 1.5°.
