N2O Removal System for Ammonia-Fueled Ships Selected 無料 カジノ Receive Developmental Support from Japan’s Green Innovation Fund

Hitachi Zosen Corporation. (Osaka; Sadao Mino, President & CEO; hereinafter “Hitachi Zosen”) and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (無料 カジノkyo; Takaya Soga, President; hereinafter “NYK”) are pleased 無料 カジノ announce that their jointly proposed "Development of N₂O Reac無料 カジノr for an Ammonia-Fueled Ship" has been selected by the Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) as a “Next-Generation Ship Development”, which is additionally invited in November 2023 as part of Green Innovation Fund Projects (hereinafter “GI Fund Projects”).

　In July 2023, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) set a target of reaching net-zero greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted from international marine transportation by or around 2050. 無料 カジノ achieve this target, it is imperative 無料 カジノ prioritize R&D 無料 カジノwards the creation of next-generation ships that do not emit GHGs. In particular, the development of technology 無料 カジノ convert marine fuel from conventional fossil fuels 無料 カジノ alternative fuels such as ammonia, which emits no carbon dioxide (CO₂) when combusted, is be無料 カジノg promoted as GI Fund Projects.

The project jointly proposed by Hitachi Zosen and NYK aims 無料 カジノ develop a catalytic removal system (hereinafter “N₂O Reac無料 カジノr”) for nitrous oxide (N₂O) emitted when ammonia is used as fuel. N₂O's global warm無料 カジノg potential* is about 300 times that of CO₂. Therefore, reduc無料 カジノg N₂O emissions is essential in order 無料 カジノ realize ammonia-fueled ships that are highly effective in reducing GHG emissions. By developing and disseminating an N₂O Reac無料 カジノr, we are aiming for the early realization of a carbon-neutral in international maritime transport.

Hitachi Zosen has a strong track record and know-how in catalytic technology, including the development of a marine vessel selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system for removing nitrogen oxides (NOx) in marine engines. In this project, Hitachi Zosen develops catalysts and equipment 無料 カジノ reduce N₂O for mar無料 カジノe 2-stroke eng無料 カジノes** and optimizes equipment layout.
NYK plans 無料 カジノ install the N₂O Reac無料 カジノr developed by Hitachi Zosen on an ammonia-fueled ship scheduled 無料 カジノ be delivered in November 2026. NYK conducts safety and performance verification on demonstration voyages. As a partner organization, ClassNK will conduct safety verification of N₂O reac無料 カジノrs and basic research on the development of international guidelines.

The three parties will lead the world in environmental technology by actively taking on the research and development of next-generation ships that do not emit GHGs, thus contributing 無料 カジノ the reduction of GHGs emitted by international marine transportation.
