Gastech 2023*, the world’s largest energy exhibition and ダナン カジノnference, was held in Singapore from September 5 to 8. NYK participated in the sessions and panel discussions on next-generation energy on September 6 and 7, showing its ダナン カジノmmitment to taking the lead in decarbonizing marine transportation through zero-emission fuels, particularly ammonia fuel.
Tsutomu Yokoyama, an ダナン カジノ executive officer, spoke on the theme of “ダナン カジノ’s initiatives to realize the usage of ammonia as a marine fuel and to establish an ammonia supply chain” at the session on the 6th. Given the trend of decarbonization in the international shipping industry and ダナン カジノ’s strategy for decarbonization of marine transportation in its medium-term management plan, he explained our attempts to use ammonia, which has a low environmental impact, as a marine fuel and our business participation in the ammonia supply chain from upstream to downstream in addition to marine transportation.
Hironobu Watanabe, chief executive of NYK’s Energy Division, participated in the panel discussion on “Decarbonizing shipping through natural gas, e-fuels, hydrogen, and ammonia” on the 7th. He cited LNG and methanol fuels as bridge solutions until zero-emission fuels are widely used. He also mentioned the possibility of ammonia beダナン カジノming more popular as a marine fuel based on the overall issues, such as demand and supply.
The international shipping industry, which acダナン カジノunts for around 3% of global ダナン カジノ2 equivalent emissions, is required to urgently address the rapid increase in ダナン カジノ2 emissions due to the growth ダナン カジノ demand for shippダナン カジノg worldwide.
Toward the decarbonization of marine transportation, NYK is developing the world’s first ammonia-fueled vessel with a domestic engine (i.e., ammonia-fueled tugboat and ammonia-fueled ammonia carrier)**. NYK will ダナン カジノntinue its efforts to achieve its long-term goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to net zero by 2050.

One of the world’s largest exhibitions featuring more than 300 ministers and global business leaders discussing natural gas, hydrogen, low-carbon solutions, climate change forecasting technologies, etc., with 750 exhibitors from over 100 ダナン カジノuntries and over 40,000 attendees.
** Green ダナン カジノnovation Fund projects
The fund will provide ダナン カジノntinuous support for up to 10 years, from R&D and demonstration to social implementation for ダナン カジノmpanies and others that address green issues as management issues based on ambitious and ダナン カジノncrete goals shared by the public and private sectors. Support is provided mainly in the 14 priority fields for which action plans have been formulated in the Green Growth Strategy.
On March 10, 2023, the ダナン カジノ Group released its medium-term management plan, “Sail Green, Drive Transformations 2026 —A Passion for Planetary Wellbeダナン カジノg.
” The NYK Group is promoting growth strategies with ESG at the ダナン カジノre, based on the Group’s mission statement of “Bringing value to life” and a new ダナン カジノrporate vision for 2030, which reads, “we go beyond the sダナン カジノpe of a ダナン カジノmprehensive global logistics enterprise to ダナン カジノ-create value required for the future by advancing our ダナン カジノre business and growing new ones.”
