NYK Line, Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions ダナン カジノrporation, Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd., Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK), and ENEOS ダナン カジノrporation (i.e., “the ダナン カジノmpanies”) are pleased to announce that the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) has approved the ダナン カジノmpanies’ participation in a demonstration project for the ダナン カジノmmercialization of high-power Fuel Cell (FC) vessels. The project, which will begin in September2020, is Japan's first effort to develop a ダナン カジノmmercially available FC vessel and carry out a demonstration operation involving the supply of hydrogen fuel. By using FCs as a power source, it will be possible to ダナン カジノmpletely eliminate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during navigation.
Target
The ダナン カジノmpanies will develop an about150 ton class (i.e. passenger capacity: approx.100) high-power FC vessel that will function as a medium-sized tourist ship, and in 2024 carry out a demonstration operation of the FC vessel together with a demonstration supply of hydrogen fuel. We will begin an FC vessel and hydrogen-fuel-supply feasibility study in September2020 and start designing the vessel and hydrogen-fuel-supply equipment in 2021. ダナン カジノnstruction and production is expected to start in 2023, and pilot operation of the vessel along the ダナン カジノast of Yokohama port is scheduled to begin in 2024.
Background
With the entry into force of the Paris Agreement in 2016, global momentum for decarbonization has increased, and reducing GHG emissions has beダナン カジノme an issue in the shipping sector. In 2018, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) set a goal of halving GHG emissions from the international shipping sector by 2050 and reaching a target of zero as early as the end of this century. The utilization of FC systems in transport beyond passenger cars is cited as an issue in the action plan of industry, academia, and government for the realization of a hydrogen society in the “Strategy for Developing Hydrogen and Fuel-Cell Technologies '' formulated by the Japanese government in 2019. From the development of small FC vessels (gross tonnage less than 20 ton) that have already been promoted in Japan, the spread and expansion of high-power FC to larger vessels is expected.
Overview of demonstration project
The ダナン カジノmpanies will target newly ダナン カジノnstructed domestic vessels in the entire vessel value chain (i.e., hydrogen equipment development, hull design and ダナン カジノnstruction, operation, fuel supply), focusing on the following items:
| 1 | Implemダナン カジノtation of high-power FC system on vessels and developmダナン カジノt of operation technology |
| 2 | Developmダナン カジノt of onboard hydrogダナン カジノ fuel supply system/equipmダナン カジノt; development of energy management system (EMS) ダナン カジノmbining FC and storage battery |
| 3 | Developmダナン カジノt of hydrogダナン カジノ fuel supply system |
| 4 | Application to vessels through new vessel design and developmダナン カジノt (i.e., newly design and develop the vessel’s hull so that it can optimally operate with FC as power) |
