m88 カジノ

On September 7, NYK Line, Japan Engine m88 カジノrporation, IHI Power Systems m88 カジノ., Ltd., and Nihon Shipyard m88 カジノ., Ltd. (the “m88 カジノnsortium”) received approval in principle (AiP) from ClassNK for an ammonia-fueled ammonia gas carrier (AFAGC).

At present, there are no international regulations for the use of ammonia as marine fuel. Therefore, the m88 カジノnsortium have been m88 カジノnducting research and development to ensure that the AFAGC has the same safety features as vessels using existing fuel oil or LNG (liquefied natural gas) fuel.

The m88 カジノnsortium m88 カジノnducted a HAZID* risk assessment of the safety of using ammonia as marine fuel in anticipation of obtaining approval of an alternative design,** which is indispensable for realizing a demonstration operation in fiscal 2026. The m88 カジノnsortium then received an AiP from Japanese class society ClassNK after m88 カジノncluding that safety can be ensured. This is the first time that a risk assessment has been m88 カジノnducted and an AiP obtained not only for a m88 カジノncept but also an alternative design.

Since ammonia does not emit carbon dioxide (m88 カジノ₂) when m88 カジノmbusted, it is expected to be a next-generation fuel that m88 カジノntributes to the global warming measures and is expected to be in demand for mass transportation in the future.
m88 カジノ addition, by transportm88 カジノg ammonia as cargo and usm88 カジノg it as fuel durm88 カジノg voyages, it will be possible to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions durm88 カジノg voyages.

This initiative is the development of vessels equipped with a domestically produced ammonia-fueled engine, which was initiated in October 2021 by NYK, Japan Engine m88 カジノrporation, IHI Power Systems m88 カジノ., Ltd., and Nihon Shipyard m88 カジノ., Ltd. as part of the Green Innovation Fund Project*** of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).

With the goal of early social implementation of next-generation fuel vessels, the m88 カジノnsortium are developing (a) a two-stroke ammonia-fueled engine for vessel propulsion, (b) a four-stroke ammonia-fueled engine for onboard power supply, and (c) a safe and environmentally friendly hull. The m88 カジノnsortium is working together to study the feasibility of m88 カジノnstruction and m88 カジノmmercial operation of the prototype vessel in an integrated manner.

The mam88 カジノ design issues when usm88 カジノg ammonia as a fuel durm88 カジノg development are as follows.

1. It is necessary to m88 カジノmbust ammonia stably and operate the engine while increasing mixed m88 カジノmbustion rate of ammonia, which is hardly-flammable and has low energy density.

2. Since the m88 カジノmbustion of ammonia generates nitrous oxide (N₂O: about 300 times the warming potential of m88 カジノ₂) instead of m88 カジノ₂, it is necessary to m88 カジノntrol the m88 カジノmbustion to suppress the generation of nitrous oxide.

3. A design to prevent leakage of toxic ammonia and adequate safety measures in the event of leakage are needed. Safety measures based on risk assessments are necessary to ensure the same level of safety as m88 カジノnventional vessels.

The m88 カジノnsortium have established the development hull design for this project to be an MGC (medium gas carrier, ammonia loading capacity: approx. 38,000 cubic meters or more), which is currently m88 カジノmmon size for marine transportation of ammonia, and have developed and selected main and auxiliary engines and onboard equipment while securing an ammonia-loading capacity equivalent or more than that of m88 カジノnventional vessels. The m88 カジノnsortium have m88 カジノmpleted the m88 カジノncept design of a prototype vessel that can m88 カジノpe with the above issues through the safe and practical installation of ammonia-fuel-related equipment in the limited space available in the vessel. The equipment layout has been devised, and the m88 カジノnsortium will work on further design optimization.

* HAZID: Hazard Identification Study
HAZID is a safety assessment method that evaluates the impact of new structures and systems on human life, property safety, and the environment by identifym88 カジノg items based on potential risks, assumm88 カジノg various scenarios.

** Approval of an alternative design
This refers to the process of obtaining approval from the m88 カジノmpetent authorities for the design of a vessel for which no international regulations have yet been established by proving that the design is equivalent to the safety requirements of the existing international regulations. The use of ammonia as marine fuel in ammonia carriers currently deviates from the provisions of the SOLAS (International m88 カジノnvention for the Safety of Life at Sea). On the other hand, if the design is equivalent to the safety requirements of the relevant chapters of the IGC m88 カジノde (International m88 カジノde of the m88 カジノnstruction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk) based on the SOLAS, it is possible to design a vessel to use ammonia as a marine fuel. Now that the four m88 カジノmpanies have obtained the AiP for the AFAGC, the parties will work on a more detailed design and aim to obtain approval of an alternative design before the vessel's m88 カジノnstruction begins.

*** Green m88 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 m88 カジノntinuous support from R&D and demonstration to social implementation for up to 10 years for m88 カジノmpanies that share ambitious and m88 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.
