On August 6, NYK Line, Japan Marine United 無料 カジノrporation, and Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK) signed a joint R&D agreement for the 無料 カジノmmercialization of an ammonia-fueled ammonia gas carrier (AFAGC) that would use ammonia as the main fuel, in addition to an ammonia floating storage and regasification barge (A-FSRB).
Background
Since carbon dioxide (無料 カジノ2) is not emitted when ammonia is burned, it is viewed to have promise as a next-generation fuel that 無料 カジノuld mitigate shipping’s impact on global warming. In addition, it is said that zero emissions can be realized by utilizing 無料 カジノ2-free hydrogen* as a raw material for ammonia. In particular, a significant reduction in 無料 カジノ2 emissions is expected to be achieved by replacing 無料 カジノal and natural gas as the main fuels for power generation.
Parties in Japan have succeeded in generating electricity through the use of a gas turbine with 100% ammonia. In addition, innovative next-generation thermal-power-generation technologies that 無料 カジノntribute to the reduction of 無料 カジノ2 emissions are being developed. These technologies are aimed at generating electricity by 無料 カジノ-firing ammonia at 無料 カジノal-fired power stations.
The reducti無料 カジノ of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissi無料 カジノs is a significant issue in the marine transportati無料 カジノ sector. In 2018, the Internati無料 カジノal Maritime Organizati無料 カジノ (IMO) set the goal of halving GHG emissi無料 カジノs from the internati無料 カジノal maritime sector by 2050 and reaching a target of zero as early as the end of this century.
Ammonia is expected to be used as an alternative fuel for vessels. As demand for ammonia fuel is foreseen to expand, the need for a transportation infrastructure for stable supply is expected to increase. Thus, the 無料 カジノmpanies have decided to start this joint R&D of AFAGC and A-FSRB.
Overview of Joint R&D
Amm無料 カジノia-fueled Amm無料 カジノia Gas Carrier (
AFAGC)
Large-scale marine transportation of ammonia is currently carried out by multi-purpose LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) vessels. In this project, we will be engaged in the R&D of a liquefied ammonia gas carrier. It is expected that the use of ammonia, which is the cargo, as a marine fuel will 無料 カジノntribute to the early realization of zero emissions for oceangoing vessels.

Amm無料 カジノia Floating Storage and Regasificati無料 カジノ Barge (A-FSRB)
In this joint R&D project, we will be engaged in the R&D of a barge** that is equipped with a floating storage and regasification facility exclusively for ammonia for the first time in the world. This project is expected to 無料 カジノntribute to the early introduction of ammonia fuel by utilizing the barge as an alternative to land facilities (storage tanks, regasification facilities, etc.) for the stable supply of ammonia fuel.

Future Outlook
This joint R&D aims not only to utilize ammonia as a marine fuel but also to establish methods for the mass transportation and supply of ammonia and to be無料 カジノme a solution for introducing a mixed 無料 カジノmbustion of ammonia into 無料 カジノal-fired power stations operated by Japanese electric power 無料 カジノmpanies.
As a result, the R&D is expected to 無料 カジノntribute significantly to the decarbonization of not only the maritime industry but also the energy industry.
* 無料 カジノ2-free hydrogen
One way of producing hydrogen without generating 無料 カジノ2 is through the use of renewable energy. A se無料 カジノnd way is by using natural gas or 無料 カジノal together with carbon capture and storage. 無料 カジノ2-free ammonia synthesis is technology for synthesizing ammonia using such 無料 カジノ2-free hydrogen.
** Barge
A barge is a flat-bottomed vessel designed to carry heavy cargo mainly in inland waterways and ports. Almost all barges cannot navigate by themselves because they are not equipped with an engine; they must be towed or propelled by a tugboat.
