Shipping methane, methanol or ammonia is already carried out on a large scale today. Methane is shipped as LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) in a large fleet of LNG ships with global shipping volumes of over 300 million tons per year. This is equivalent to the transport of 12,000 TWh of energy per year. Ammonia and methanol transport over sea takes place on a much smaller scale at the moment, but the existing shipping technology can easily and quickly be enlarged if the demand turns out to be there.
