At the conclusion of the International Negotiating Committee on Mercury ( INC5 ) meeting in Geneva ( earlier post ), nations agreed on a global, legally-binding treaty to prevent mercury emissions and releases. The negotiations were initially looking to set thresholds on the size of plants or level of emissions to be controlled.

The study also confirms that emissions of other local pollutants, such as sulfur oxides (SO x ), nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and particulate matter (PM), are close to zero when using LNG compared with current conventional oil-based marine fuels. Moving from current Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) to LNG does reduce GHG emissions.
