      >Ferries procurement agency CMAL, which owns the ship, said the comparison was “inaccurate” as Glen Sannox is a larger vessel.

      >When running on LNG, CO2 emissions are up to 25% lower – but this is almost entirely offset by the larger engine size and higher fuel consumption.

      Saved you a click.

      Love to know how an LNG powered ship in “green”.

      LNG is less polluting than diesel though. Don’t really see the point of this article.

      The entire SNP government over the past 18 years can be summed up by their inability to build 2 simple ferries.

      This article accidentally reveals the root cause of climate change. It is partly the type of fuels we use but the largest underlying cause is the increase in energy usage, no matter the source of the energy. The world getting bigger is simply using more and more, no amount of green initiatives can combat that

      As someone who supports most green initiatives, the government consistently drops the ball on this shit.

      My local example is Drax power station, its a coal plant they converted to burn down the forest instead and then gets subsidised and called some kind of green acheivement.
      Now while I’ll grant you that at least wood is more renewable than coal, its definately not better for the environment to cut down forests in the Americas, ship it across the sea on deisel powered ships and still burn carbon to pump into the atmosphere.
      Oh and at taxpayers expence to subsidise corpos too.

      I wonder if historians will look back on the greenwashing in the early 21st century like it was some kind of millenialist cult.
