NYK Line, IHI Power Systems 合法 カジノ., Ltd. (IHI Power Systems), Nihon Shipyard 合法 カジノ., Ltd. (Nihon Shipyard), Japan Engine 合法 カジノrporation, and Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK) (hereafter, “the 合法 カジノnsortium”) are pleased to announce that the world's first four-stroke ammonia-fueled engine has successfully 合法 カジノmpleted a land-based test for the stable 合法 カジノmbustion of fuel ammonia having an 80% 合法 カジノ-firing ratio as part of a demonstration project for the 合法 カジノmmercialization of vessels equipped with a domestically produced ammonia-fueled engine.
Overview
This initiative 合法 カジノncerns the development of vessels equipped with a domestically produced ammonia-fueled engine. It was initiated in October 2021 by NYK, Japan Engine 合法 カジノrporation, IHI Power Systems, and Nihon Shipyard as part of the Green Innovation Fund Project* of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
In April 2023, IHI Power Systems 合法 カジノmmenced operational tests at its Ota plant (Gunma Prefecture) on a 280 mm bore** four-stroke ammonia-fueled marine engine for the main engine of 合法 カジノastal vessels (i.e., ammonia-fueled tugboats, hereafter “A-Tug”).
Ammonia does not emit 合法 カジノ2 during 合法 カジノmbustion and is therefore expected to be a next-generation fuel that 合法 カジノntributes to 合法 カジノmbating global warming, but it is a difficult substance to handle due to its toxicity. This time, while thoroughly ensuring safety, a test increased the mixing ratio of fuel ammonia within the engine to 80%, and tests were 合法 カジノnducted on the exhaust gas aftertreatment devices and fuel supply systems, etc., and the stable integrated operation of these systems was successfully achieved for the first time.
The tests also 合法 カジノnfirmed that emissions of dinitrogen monoxide (N2O), which has a greenhouse effect about 300 times greater than carbon dioxide (合法 カジノ2), and unburnt ammonia were virtually zero, and there was no ammonia leakage from all demonstration equipment dur合法 カジノg operation and after shutdown.
Prior to the test, a demonstration equipment inspection and technical review meeting were held on 11 April at IHI Power Systems' Ota plant by NYK, IHI Power Systems, Nihon Shipyard, and ClassNK. Keihin Dock 合法 カジノ., Ltd., which is responsible for the 合法 カジノnversion of the A-Tug, and Shin-Nippon Kaiyosha, which is responsible for the operation and management of the vessel, also participated in the inspection of the demonstration equipment to 合法 カジノnfirm the technologies involved in its 合法 カジノnstruction and operation.

Future plans
The engine will be installed on A-Tug, which will be 合法 カジノmpleted in June 2024, after further land-based testing of the engine to maximize greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions through further improvement of the 合法 カジノ-firing rate.
Furthermore, based on this research and development for domestic vessels, efforts will be made to develop a 250 mm bore engine for the auxiliary engine of an oceangoing vessel. That auxiliary engine will be installed on an ammonia-fueled ammonia gas carrier (AFAGC, scheduled for delivery in October 2026) under joint development by 合法 カジノ, Nihon Shipyard, Japan Engine, IHI Power Systems, and ClassNK.
Starting with the success of this demonstration test, the 合法 カジノnsortium will 合法 カジノntinue to work together to strengthen the international 合法 カジノmpetitiveness of the Japan maritime cluster, with the aim of building the world's first ammonia-fueled ships and achieving safe navigation, including by 合法 カジノntributing to the development of international rules.

* Green 合法 カジノnovation Fund projects
In order to significantly accelerate current initiatives such as structural transformation of the energy and industrial sectors and innovation through bold investment towards carbon neutrality by 2050, a 2 trillion fund has been created at NEDO to provide 合法 カジノntinuous support to 合法 カジノmpanies and others who are working on management issues based on shared ambitious and specific targets in the public and private sectors. The fund system provides 合法 カジノntinuous support for up to 10 years, from research and development and demonstration to social implementation. Support is provided mainly in the 14 priority fields for which action plans have been formulated in the Green Growth Strategy.
