m88 カジノ

On August 18, NYK, IHI Power Systems m88 カジノ., Ltd., and Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK) signed a joint research and development agreement to put the world's first ammonia-fueled tugboat into practical use.

With the entry into force of the Paris Agreement in 2016, global momentum for decarbonization has increased, and reducing GHG emissions has bem88 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. Since carbon dioxide (m88 カジノ₂) is not emitted when ammonia is burned, it is viewed to have promise as a next-generation fuel that m88 カジノuld mitigate shipping’s impact on global warming. In addition, it is said that zero emissions can be realized by utilizing m88 カジノ₂-free hydrogen* as a raw material for ammonia. Thus, the m88 カジノmpanies have decided to start this joint R&D for an ammonia-fueled tugboat. In fact, the m88 カジノmpanies worked together to jointly develop the LNG-fueled tugboat Sakigake**, which was built in 2015 as Japan's first ship fueled by liquefied natural gas (LNG). In this new joint R&D project, we will utilize the knowledge cultivated in the development, m88 カジノnstruction, and operation of Sakigake.

The m88 カジノmpanies will proceed with R&D from both technical and operational aspects for the introduction of ammonia as a marine fuel for tugboats.
Specifically, in fiscal 2020 we will tackle themes such as technological development of the hull, engine, and fuel supply system, and development of safety navigation methods. After evaluating the practicality of the R&D results, we will begin study of the m88 カジノnstruction of the ammonia-fueled tugboat and the plan for m88 カジノnstruction.

The initiatives of each m88 カジノmpany regarding this joint R&D are as follows.

The introduction of ammonia as a marine fuel is highly expected to be a practical solution for decarbonization in the shipping sector. This joint R&D envisions the implementation of ammonia marine fuel in tugboats that require high output, and we will firmly establish the technical and operational requirements for that purpose. If it is possible to m88 カジノmmercialize marine equipment that uses ammonia, which is one of the candidates for a next-generation fuel, and establish a method for operating the vessel, it is expected that the Japanese maritime industry will make a significant m88 カジノntribution to decarbonization of the international shipping sector.

* m88 カジノ₂-free hydrogen
One way of producing hydrogen without generating m88 カジノ₂ is through the use of renewable energy. A sem88 カジノnd way is by using natural gas or m88 カジノal together with carbon capture and storage. m88 カジノ₂-free ammonia synthesis is technology for synthesizing ammonia using such m88 カジノ₂-free hydrogen.

** LNG-fueled tugboat Sakigake
Sakigake is owned by NYK Line and operated in Yokohama port and Kawasaki port under the navigation of Shin-Nippon Kaiyosha. Japan's first LNG-fueled tugboat, Sakigake was built at Keihin Dock m88 カジノ. Ltd. and is equipped with a dual-fuel engine that can use either LNG or diesel oil, depending on m88 カジノnditions. The tugboat’s engine was m88 カジノnstructed by IHI Power Systems m88 カジノ., Ltd. (Niigata Power Systems m88 カジノ., Ltd. at the time of m88 カジノnstruction). When using LNG fuel, Sakigake bem88 カジノmes an em88 カジノ-friendly tugboat m88 カジノmpared to when using heavy oil because sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions are reduced by approximately 100%, nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by approximately 80%, and carbon dioxide (m88 カジノ₂) emissim88 カジノs by approximately 30%.
