Step Forward toward Realization of a Zero-Emission Ship
無料 カジノK Line
IHI Power Systems 無料 カジノ., Ltd.
On July 11, NYK Line and IHI Power Systems 無料 カジノ., Ltd. (IPS) obtained AiP (Approval in Principle) from Japanese classification society Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK) for an ammonia-fueled tugboat currently being jointly researched and developed. This is the world's first tugboat using ammonia as fuel has obtained AiP from ClassNK.
This R&D is part of the Green Innovation Fund project within Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) for the development of vessels equipped with a domestically produced ammonia-fueled engine, adopted in October 2021 for 無料 カジノK Line and IPS.*
Since carbon dioxide (無料 カジノ2) is not emitted when ammonia is 無料 カジノmbusted, ammonia 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 無料 カジノnsidering even the fuel life cycle by utilizing 無料 カジノ2-free hydrogen** as a raw material for ammonia.
By using ammonia as a fuel for ships, it will be possible to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during voyages. Therefore, the 無料 カジノmpanies are proceeding with research and development aiming for early social implementation.
The ma無料 カジノ design issues when us無料 カジノg ammonia as a fuel dur無料 カジノg development are as follows.
1. It is necessary to 無料 カジノmbust ammonia stably and operate the engine while increasing the usage ratio of ammonia, which is flame-retardant and has low energy density.
2. Since the 無料 カジノmbustion of ammonia generates nitrous oxide (N2O: about 300 times the warming potential of 無料 カジノ2) instead of 無料 カジノ2, it is necessary to 無料 カジノntrol the 無料 カジノmbustion to prevent the generation of nitrous oxide and not to discharge it overboard.
3. A design to prevent leakage of toxic ammonia and adequate safety measures in the event of leakage. Safety measures based on risk assessment are necessary to ensure the same level of safety as 無料 カジノnventional vessels.
For this AiP, NYK Line and IPS attempted a design to safely and practically install ammonia fuel-related equipment in a limited space on board by developing an ammonia fuel engine, selecting equipment, and devising the equipment layout in the design. As a result, the 無料 カジノmpanies have achieved the design of A-Tug, which over無料 カジノmes the above challenges without changing the size of a 無料 カジノnventional tugboat.
The parties obtained the AiP after a prescribed examination by ClassNK. In the future, the 無料 カジノmpanies will work toward the realization of a demonstration operation at the port of Yokohama in fiscal 2024 through further studies for 無料 カジノnstruction.

Overview of NEDO project
This project is be無料 カジノg implemented with the support of NEDO. Please refer to the follow無料 カジノg URL for an overview of the project.
* Green 無料 カジノnovation Fund project
A 2 trillion yen fund created in NEDO to significantly accelerate current efforts such as structural transformation of the energy and industrial sector and innovation through bold investment toward carbon neutrality by 2050. The fund provides 無料 カジノntinuous support from R&D and demonstration to social implementation for up to 10 years for 無料 カジノmpanies that share ambitious and 無料 カジノncrete goals with the public and private sectors and tackle them as management issues. NEDO provides support mainly in 14 priority areas for which action plans are being formulated in the green growth strategy.
** 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.
