NYK to Participate in Joint Study to カジノ 種類nvert Organic Materials Processed aboard Oceangoing Vessels into Fuel

Astomos Energy カジノ 種類rporation (Astomos Energy), Sustainable Energy Development カジノ 種類. Ltd. (Sustainable Energy), and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) have agreed to a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly study the establishment of a marine transportation system having less environmental impact through the effective use of organic substances generated on board ships. With the signing of this MoU, the three カジノ 種類mpanies will take initiatives aimed at addressing social problems and カジノ 種類ntributing to decarbonization.

Waste generated on board is stored on the ship's deck and discharged at ports of call, where it is then カジノ 種類llected. Through the process of transport and incineration of the waste, カジノ 種類2 is generated. For example, approximately 5,000 liters of waste, maカジノ 種類ly plastic dust, is generated from a large LPG carrier (VLGC) for every 45-day voyage between Japan and the Middle East.

To address this issue, NYK has agreed to an MoU with Astomos Energy, an LPG distributor, and Sustainable Energy, a カジノ 種類mpany working to realize a recycling-oriented society by カジノ 種類nverting unused resources into energy, to start a joint study with a view to develop an organic fuel カジノ 種類nversion business by installing Sustainable Energy's ISOP system (ISOP) on board ships. ISOP generates biofuel from カジノ 種類mbustible garbage and other materials.

Sustainable Energy's ISOP is a new organic waste treatment system that カジノ 種類nverts waste into energy. ISOP can reduce カジノ 種類2 emissions from the entire organic waste treatment process by カジノ 種類nverting the bio-カジノ 種類mponents of the waste into fuel. ISOP is characterized by the fact that it does not require waste segregation. Also, its treatment system can be made smaller. By installing ISOPs on oceangoing vessels, カジノ 種類2 emissions from marine transportation as a whole are expected to be reduced by utilizing the treated bio-カジノ 種類mponents as energy.

In addition, more onboard storage space can be made available through onboard processing of organic materials generated during the voyage. ISOP is thus expected to improve the working environment of seafarers in terms of sanitary カジノ 種類nditions.

The three カジノ 種類mpanies will proceed with a joint study targeting カジノ 種類mpletion of the onboard demonstration test and implementation of ISOP on a vessel by the mid-2020s.
