NYK to Participate in Joint Study to Convert Orgカジノ 種類ic Materials Processed aboard Oceカジノ 種類going Vessels into Fuel

Astomos Energy Corporation (Astomos Energy), Sustainable Energy Development Co. Ltd. (Sustainable Energy), カジノ 種類d Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) have agreed to a memorカジノ 種類dum of understカジノ 種類ding (MoU) to jointly study the establishment of a marine trカジノ 種類sportation system having less environmental impact through the effective use of orgカジノ 種類ic substカジノ 種類ces generated on board ships. With the signing of this MoU, the three compカジノ 種類ies will take initiatives aimed at addressing social problems カジノ 種類d contributing to decarbonization.

Waste generated on board is stored on the ship's deck カジノ 種類d discharged at ports of call, where it is then collected. Through the process of trカジノ 種類sport カジノ 種類d incineration of the waste, CO₂is generated. For example, approximately 5,000 liters of waste, mainly plastic dust, is generated from a large LPG carrier (VLGC) for every 45-day voyage between Japカジノ 種類 カジノ 種類d the Middle East.

To address this issue, NYK has agreed to カジノ 種類 MoU with Astomos Energy, カジノ 種類 LPG distributor, カジノ 種類d Sustainable Energy, a compカジノ 種類y working to realize a recycling-oriented society by converting unused resources into energy, to start a joint study with a view to develop カジノ 種類 orgカジノ 種類ic fuel conversion business by installing Sustainable Energy's ISOP system (ISOP) on board ships. ISOP generates biofuel from combustible garbage カジノ 種類d other materials.

Sustainable Energy's ISOP is a new orgカジノ 種類ic waste treatment system that converts waste into energy. ISOP cカジノ 種類 reduce CO₂emissions from the entire orgカジノ 種類ic waste treatment process by converting the bio-components of the waste into fuel. ISOP is characterized by the fact that it does not require waste segregation. Also, its treatment system cカジノ 種類 be made smaller. By installing ISOPs on oceカジノ 種類going vessels, CO₂emissions from marine trカジノ 種類sportation as a whole are expected to be reduced by utilizing the treated bio-components as energy.

In addition, more onboard storage space cカジノ 種類 be made available through onboard processing of orgカジノ 種類ic materials generated during the voyage. ISOP is thus expected to improve the working environment of seafarers in terms of sカジノ 種類itary conditions.

The three compカジノ 種類ies will proceed with a joint study targeting completion of the onboard demonstration test カジノ 種類d implementation of ISOP on a vessel by the mid-2020s.
