Ammonia as marine fuel
As part of the industry’s decarbonisation drive, Japanese shipping company NYK, presented its concept for using ammonia as marine fuel.
No CO2 emission
Ammonia when heated, does not emit carbon dioxide (CO2). Thus ammonia is expected to contribute to the industry’s effort to address global warming.
CO2 free hydrogen
In addition, if CO2-free hydrogen is used, zero emissions are said to be achieved. NYK is thus considering the use of ammonia as marine fuel, one of the solutions for decarbonization.
Green business
The NYK Group is making efforts to create next-generation green businesses by involving alternative marine fuels to realize decarbonization.
The company’s basic philosophy is “Bringing value to life” and contributing to the betterment of societies.
