「For both low-speed and medium- and high-speed diesel engines, we are conducting various experiments on the impact on bearings when using alternative fuels such as ammonia, hydrogen and methanol, and presenting the results at academic conferences and other forums. We have also begun exchanging views with some customers, including comparisons with tests on actual engines.」
The company progressed with various experiments on bearings for alternative fuels, presentations at academic conferences, and exchanges of views with customers, including comparisons with test results from actual engines. - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report

「For both low-speed and medium- and high-speed diesel engines, we are conducting surveys and research on the impact on bearings when using alternative fuels such as ammonia, hydrogen and methanol, and have begun exchanging views with some customers, including by sharing feedback from tests on actual engines.」
Research on the impact of alternative fuels on bearings has progressed, and the company has begun exchanging views with some customers based on the results of tests on actual engines. - FY2024-Q1First statedAnnual report
「Growing demand, driven by the shift toward decarbonisation, for engines that can operate using either liquid fuel or gas fuel.」
Against the backdrop of progress toward decarbonisation, the company identified, for the first time as a standalone theme, growing demand for marine engines that can switch between liquid and gas fuels as a factor driving higher sales of marine bearings.
