According to The Asahi Shimbun, a consortium of Japanese companies will set sail on domestically building an ammonia carrier ship that is fueled by ammonia, which emits no carbon dioxide (CO2) when burned.
The cleaner fuel source is part of an effort to decarbonize seafaring vessels, which are a major source of global CO2 emissions. The ship, scheduled for completion in 2026, is expected, following a demonstration voyage, to be the world’s first vessel of its kind and to be used in international shipping. The plan was jointly released Jan. 25 by four companies including shipping giant Nippon Yusen KK (NYK). Use of the ship, which co-fires ammonia with heavy fuel oil, can cut emissions of greenhouse gases, including CO2, by more than 80 percent as compared to when fuel oil alone is used. https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15159500
