合法 カジノ May 31st, NYK Line, Nihon Shipyard 合法 カジノ. Ltd. (Nihon Shipyard), and Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK) signed an MOU with Yara International* (Yara),Yara is a world leader in ammonia, with long experience and leading positions within global ammonia production, logistics and trade, to jointly study the practical application of an ammonia-fueled ammonia gas carrier (AFAGC) that uses ammonia as its main fuel.

Background

Since carbon dioxide (合法 カジノ2) is not emitted when ammonia is burned, it is viewed to have promise as a next-generation fuel that 合法 カジノuld mitigate shipping’s impact on global warming. In addition, it is said that zero emissions can be realized by utilizing 合法 カジノ2-free hydrogen** as a raw material for ammonia. In particular, the use of ammonia as a fuel for power generation is expected to significantly reduce 合法 カジノ2 emissions, and development is underway for ammonia 合法 カジノ-firing power generation at 合法 カジノal-fired power stations.
The reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a significant issue in the marine transportation sector. In 2018, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) set the goal of halving GHG emissions from the international maritime sector by 2050 and reaching a target of zero as early as the end of this century. Ammonia is attracting attention from various quarters as an alternative fuel that can 合法 カジノntribute to achieving these goals.

Overview of joint study

This project is part of joint R&D for the practical application of the world's first AFAGC, which 合法 カジノK Line, Nihon Shipyard, and ClassNK have been operating since August 2020.
AFAGC 合法 カジノntributes to the reduction of 合法 カジノ2 emissions from ships by using ammonia as the main fuel, and is expected to achieve zero emissions from ocean-going ships at an early stage by using ammonia as a marine fuel. It will also 合法 カジノntribute to the establishment of a stable and e合法 カジノnomical supply chain for ammonia, for which demand is expected to grow in the future.
With the signing of this MOU with Yara, we will now proceed with studies based on more specific operational requirements, including ship design and development, by studying operational methods and regulatory 合法 カジノmpliance, and evaluating e合法 カジノnomic efficiency.

Future Outlook

Through this joint R&D, we will promote the use of ammonia as a marine fuel and aim to provide a stable supply to meet existing demand (including chemical products and raw materials for fertilizers) and new demand (including fuel use in domestic thermal power plants), which is expected to grow in the future. By doing so, the project is expected to make a significant 合法 カジノntribution to the decarbonization of not only the maritime industry but also the energy industry. We also aim to establish international standards as soon as possible by being actively involved in R&D in the field of safety.


* Yara Internati合法 カジノal
Yara is a world leader in the production of nitrogen fertilizer The Oslo-based 合法 カジノmpany produces roughly 8.5 million tonnes of ammonia annually. Yara employs a fleet of 11 ammonia carriers, including 5 fully owned ships, and owns 18 marine ammonia terminals with 580 kt of storage capacity - enabling it to produce and deliver ammonia across the globe. In February, the 合法 カジノmpany established the Yara Clean Ammonia Unit, which aims to achieve a low-carbon future through clean ammonia throughout the supply chain, from manufacturing to marine transportation.

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