On August 20, NYK reached a basic agreement for the marine transport of green ammonia* to Japan in collaboration with Kyushu Electric Power Company, Incorporated (“Kyushu Electric”), Sojitz Corporation (“Sojitz”), and Sembcorp Green Hydrogen Pte. Ltd. (“Sembcorp”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sembcorp Industries, a leading energy company in Asia engaged in a project to produce green ammonia. NYK General Manager of the Next Generation Fuel Business Group Takahiro Rokuroda attended the signing ceremony in Delhi, India, reports NYK Line.
Aims of the project
This project aims to produce highly competitive green ammonia in India, a country with abundant renewable energy resources. In June, Kyushu Electric and Sojitz, together with Sembcorp, reached a basic agreement to supply green ammonia produced in this project to various industrial customers in Japan, primarily in the Kyushu region.
Through the marine transport, NYK will continue to contribute to establishing supply chains of next generation energy such as ammonia, in the Kyushu region and elsewhere in Japan.
Green ammonia
Ammonia produced using renewable energy. Since CO2 is not emitted during its production or combustion, green ammonia is expected to be a powerful energy resource for a decarbonized society.
In addition, NYK has launched “Sail GREEN” as the company’s ESG brand, which emphasizes NYK’s efforts to reduce GHG emissions through the transport of goods and contribute to the eco-friendly supply chains of customers, regardless of the mode of transport (e.g., by sea or land, through terminals, etc.).
