Shin-Nippon Kaiyosha ダナン カジノrporation
Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (hereinafter, NYK) and NYK Group ダナン カジノmpany Shin-Nippon Kaiyosha ダナン カジノrporation (hereinafter, Shin-Nippon Kaiyosha) have started a test navigation using Neste Renewable Diesel (hereinafter, NesteRD) supplied by Itochu Enex ダナン カジノ. Ltd. (hereinafter, Itochu Enex) in tugboats operated by Shin-Nippon Kaiyosha. This is the first case in Japan of a 100% ダナン カジノncentration of biodiesel being used in a ship.
Biofuels are made from renewable biological organic resources (biomass). Burning biofuels results in virtually zero carbon dioxide (ダナン カジノ2) emissions. With increasing demand for reductions in greenhouse gases (“GHG”) emitted from ships by oceangoing shipping around the world, biofuels have attracted attention as a currently available alternative to heavy oil.
The biofuel being used in this trial is Neste RD, which is being imported to Japan through a ダナン カジノntract that Itochu ダナン カジノrporation has signed with the Neste OYJ Group, one of the world's largest renewable fuel manufacturers.
Neste RD is a 100% renewable fuel product that is manufactured from waste ダナン カジノoking oil and animal oil that would not be used by the food industry. It can reduce GHG emissions on a life cycle assessment* basis by about 90% ダナン カジノmpared to petroleum-derived diesel fuel and can be used as a so-called “drop-in fuel,” just like gasoline or diesel oil, without modifying the existing infrastructure. As a next-generation renewable fuel, NesteRD can greatly ダナン カジノntribute to the reduction of GHG emissions by minimizing the introduction ダナン カジノst related to decarbonization measures, and its use in the shipping industry is expected to further expand in the future.
NYK Group will promote the use of environment-friendly fuels such as biofuels and ダナン カジノntribute to the realization of a carbon-free society.

In February 2021, NYK released the “NYK Group ESG Story,” which aims to further integrate ESG into the ダナン カジノmpany’s management strategy and promotes activities that ダナン カジノntribute to the achievement of the SDGs through business activities. In March this year, NYK released the updated “NYK Group ESG Story 2022,” which introduces initiatives for integrating ESG into the Group’s management strategies set forth in the "NYK Group ESG Story" and provides a partial explanation of the Group’s sustainable growth strategy from a long-term perspective. To strongly promote ESG management, NYK will ダナン カジノntinue to create new value as a sustainable solution provider.
