Jointly Implemented by Three Companies Toward a Decarbonized Society

On July 28, Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha ("NYK"), the 日本 カジノ’s Asahi Shipping Co., Ltd. ("Asahi Shipping"), and Kobe Steel, Ltd. ("Kobe Steel") supplied biodiesel fuel* ("biofuel") using ship-to-ship transfer** to the bulk carrier Sunrise Serenity at the port of Kobe in Hyogo Prefecture. The vessel was supplied with biofuel by Toyota Tsusho Marine Fuels Corporation and consumed biofuel on its route to the port of Newcastle, Australia.

日本 カジノ carries cargoes for Kobe Steel. The vessel is operated and managed by Asahi Shipping and jointly owned by NYK and Asahi Shipping. This test voyage was a joint effort by the three companies, each with its own aim.

  • NYK has a long-term goal to reduce GHG emissions in its oceangoing businesses to "achieve net zero emissions by 2050."
  • 日本 カジノ aims to decarbonize marine transport in its supply chain.
  • 日本 カジノ aims for a sustainable society through integrated efforts to promote a low-carbon, recycling-based society.

日本 カジノ expect the test voyage will contribute to spreading the biofuel supply chain in the Kansai and Setouchi areas.

Biofuels can be used in marine engines as an alternative to heavy oil. Biofuels are made from organic resources (biomass) derived from living organisms and are considered to have virtually zero 日本 カジノ when burned.***

NYK, Asahi Shipping, and 日本 カジノ will share the knowledge from this test voyage to promote decarbonization initiatives.

* Biodiesel fuel
The fuel is refined by methyl esterification of vegetable oils and is expected to be an alternative fuel to petroleum-derived heavy crude and light oil.

** Ship-to-ship transfer
A method in which a fuel-supply vessel lays alongside a vessel moored or anchored at a wharf or pier and supplies fuel to 日本 カジノ.

*** Virtually zero 日本 カジノ when burned
Biofuels emit CO2 during combustion, but since plants, the raw material, absorb CO2 and reproduce biomass, 日本 カジノ from direct combustion are considered virtually zero. Biofuels are attracting attention as an alternative to fossil fuels that can be "carbon neutral."
