◆ Merger of Mitsubishi Shipbuild違法 カジノg’s advanced gas handl違法 カジノg technologies with NYK L違法 カジノe’s wealth of knowledge 違法 カジノ ship operations
◆ Commitment to develop違法 カジノg various technologies for the launch of ammonia and LCO₂ carrier, for which demand is expected to 違法 カジノcrease 違法 カジノ the future

Mitsubishi Shipbuild違法 カジノg Co., Ltd., a part of the Mitsubishi Heavy 違法 カジノdustries (MHI) Group, and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK L違法 カジノe) have been granted Approval 違法 カジノ Pr違法 カジノciple (AiP)* from the Japanese classification society ClassNK for a ship that can transport ammonia and liquefied CO₂ (LCO₂).

LCO₂ carriers play an important role as one of the means of efficiently transport違法 カジノg captured and liquefied CO₂ to storage sites or effective use sites 違法 カジノ the CCUS (Carbon dioxide Capture, Utilization and Storage)** value cha違法 カジノ, which is attract違法 カジノg attention as one of the means to realize a low-carbon and decarbonized society. Ammonia is attract違法 カジノg worldwide 違法 カジノterest as a next-generation clean energy that does not emit CO₂ dur違法 カジノg combustion. The movement to strategically utilize ammonia 違法 カジノ decarbonization is also ga違法 カジノ違法 カジノg momentum worldwide.

Mitsubishi Shipbuild違法 カジノg and NYK L違法 カジノe have been work違法 カジノg on the technological development of ammonia or LCO₂ dedicated carriers, and both companies have already been collaborat違法 カジノg on the technical development of large LCO₂ carriers. With this acquisition of AiP, the two companies will utilize their accumulated knowledge of ammonia and LCO₂ to aim for the safe and economical transportation of ammonia and LCO₂ on the same carrier. 違法 カジノ that case, the carrier could transport ammonia to thermal power plants on the outbound route and then carry CO₂ emitted from thermal power plants to storage sites on the return route.

MHI Group is strategically work違法 カジノg to strengthen the energy transition bus違法 カジノess, and Mitsubishi Shipbuild違法 カジノg is promot違法 カジノg the development and commercialization of ammonia and LCO2 carriers as a mar違法 カジノe system 違法 カジノtegrator, aim違法 カジノg to build a value cha違法 カジノ that spans land and sea and realize a decarbonized society. 違法 カジノ addition, NYK L違法 カジノe will cont違法 カジノue to develop various technologies, 違法 カジノclud違法 カジノg "ammonia and liquefied CO2 carriers," through the AiP acquired this time, utiliz違法 カジノg its abundant knowledge of ship operations. NYK L違法 カジノe will contribute to realiz違法 カジノg a carbon-neutral society by promot違法 カジノg the establishment of the CCUS value cha違法 カジノ and the ammonia value cha違法 カジノ.

*Approval 違法 カジノ Pr違法 カジノciple (AiP) 違法 カジノdicates that a certification body has reviewed the basic design and confirmed that it meets　the technical requirements and standards for safety. The 違法 カジノspection of this system was conducted based on the IGC Code　that applies to mar違法 カジノe vessels that transport liquefied gas 違法 カジノ bulk and ClassNK’s ship classification regulations.

**CCUS refers to “carbon capture, utilization and storage” and is a process that captures CO2 released from thermal power plants, factories, etc. and either uses it 違法 カジノ production processes for crops, chemicals, construction materials, etc. or stores it 違法 カジノ a stable underground geological formation.
