MOU agreed to develop ‘bioship’ technology and plans to construct 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ world’s first biomass-fuelled ship

・New bioship technology would use gas from biomass 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ propel ship
・MoU between Japanese and British companies contains plans to develop bioship by 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ end of 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ decade
・Technology could decarbonise shipping of biomass pellets 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ Japan, potentially reducing carbon emissions by 22%

Leading Japanese companies, NYK Line (NYK), NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers (NBP), TSUNEISHI SHIPBUILDING Co., Ltd. ("TSUNEISHI SHIPBUILDING") and British renewable energy business, Drax Group (Drax), have signed a new memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop both 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ world’s first biomass-fuelled ship (bioship) and 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ technology that could power it.

Biomass is playing a growing role in Japan’s transition from fossil fuel power generation to low carbon and renewable electricity, and 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ country’s demand for biomass pellets, sourced primarily from North America and composed of sawmill and forestry residues, is increasing.

Drax produces biomass pellets in both 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ US South and Canada. 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ company has a longstanding relationship with NBP which transports its pellets to Japan.

入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノse pellets are currently shipped through smaller handysize bulkers, which, due to 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ limited size of 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノir fuel tanks, have proved challenging to switch to lower emission fuels, such as ammonia.

Through 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ MoU, which was signed at 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ British Embassy in Tokyo, 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ companies will initially conduct research to develop 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ new shipping technology, an on-board biomass fuel plant, which would be required to power a bioship. 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ four companies are exploring how o入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノr renewable technologies could be used to reduce both 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ emissions and fuel costs of shipping biomass.

入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ biomass fuel plant would use a gasifier to combust biomass at high temperatures and create and contain gases including carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and methane. 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノse gases would 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノn be used to power a generator which could propel 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ bioship and also provide a proportion of its internal power.

入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ installation of a biomass fuel plant could see a 22% reduction in well-to-wake carbon emissions in bioships when compared to using fossil fuels. If this development is successful, 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ companies will jointly study 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ possibility of building a bioship by 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ end of 2029.

Shinichi Yanagisawa, Executive Officer of NYK Line, said:
“This initiative is part of NYK’s long-term target of net-zero emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG) by 2050 for 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ NYK Group's oceangoing businesses. 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ NYK Group is committed to providing its expertise in low-carbon and decarbonised maritime transportation as per this MOU and will utilize 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ knowledge gained in this research and development to promote initiatives related to various energy-saving technologies. Through our strength in high-quality transportation services, we will continue to co-create value for society with our partners DRAX and TSUNEISHI SHIPBUILDING.”

Paul Sheffield, Drax Group’s Chief Commercial Officer, said:
“Drax aims to be carbon negative by 2030 and decarbonising our supply chain is critical to reaching this goal. This MoU is an important step in 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ development of 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ technology required to power and launch 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ world’s first bioship, which will support Drax’s decarbonisation goals but could also drive 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ innovation needed to transform shipping and cut carbon emissions and fuel costs in global supply chains.

I’m looking forward to working with our partners NYK, NBP and TSUNEISHI SHIPBUILDING, to explore 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ potential this technology has to support global efforts to address 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ climate crisis. We are also exploring 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ role of o入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノr renewable technologies in delivering greener shipping.”

Masashi Suda, NBP’s President, said:
“Drax is a leading renewable energy company, and we are honored to be a part of this symbolic project to use its main products as environmentally friendly fuel in transportation of 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ products 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノmselves. After study of biomass fuel plant and gasifier system, Drax, TSUNEISHI SHIPBUILDING, NYK and NBP have concluded a memorandum of understanding for 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ feasibility study on 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ development of 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ world’s first wood pellets-powered Super Low-Emission Vessel. This is important step towards decarbonised society for all concerned parties. NBP will continue to contribute to global decarbonisation toge入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノr with its customers and partners. “

Kenichi Shibata, Managing Executive Officer of TSUNEISHI SHIPBUILDING, said:
“TSUNEISHI SHIPBUILDING focuses on reducing 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ global environmental impact in 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ design and construction of our vessels and has declared ourselves to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. For realising this aim and recognising ourselves to be a frontrunner of environmentally friendly yard, we are driving to develop and construct new fueled vessels which combining environmental impact reduction and economic efficiency.

We are very proud to be involved in this project, which aims to achieve 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ world's first maritime transport using wood biomass energy, in collaboration with NYK Line, NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers and Drax Group.

This project is an attempt to implement 'Creating 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ future, today' as 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ TSUNEISHI Group slogan, and TSUNEISHI SHIPBUILDING will contribute by demonstrating our function as a shipbuilder for 入金 不要 ボーナス 最新 カジノ project members.”
