「From fiscal 2024, we will undertake a full-scale trial of the long-term use of biofuel, which is deemed to result in virtually zero carbon dioxide emissions, in the operation of existing heavy-oil-fueled vessels. Moving beyond the short-term trials conducted to date, we will comprehensively verify the safety and stable procurement of biofuel when used for an extended period of 3 months or more.」
The company will advance from short-term trials to long-term biofuel-use trials of 3 months or more in fiscal 2024. It has also developed concrete plans for the commencement of ammonia-fueled tugboat operations and an ammonia-fueled carrier scheduled for completion in fiscal 2026. - FY2023AdvancedAnnual report
「Through 2030, in addition to promoting the introduction of new LNG-fueled vessels as part of the transition to alternative fuels, we will make maximum use of technologies that contribute to GHG reduction in vessel operations. From around the middle of the 2030s, we will further advance the transition to alternative fuels and accelerate GHG reductions by fully introducing next-generation zero-emission vessels, centered on new ammonia-fueled vessels, and expanding their fleet numbers.」
Toward the 2050 net-zero emissions target, the company has developed a phased fuel-transition plan consisting of new LNG-fueled vessels through 2030 and new ammonia-fueled vessels from the middle of the 2030s onward. - FY2022AdvancedAnnual report
「In September 2021, the Group decided to set its long-term target for GHG reduction in the ocean shipping business at achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. To achieve this, it will pursue strategic investment, primarily in environmental fields, through “enhancement investments,” consisting of measures to reduce GHG emissions from vessels by introducing LNG-fueled and next-generation fuel vessels, as well as renewal investments in existing businesses such as LNG carriers, and “growth investments,” consisting of investments in green businesses and new growth businesses.」
