Mitsubishi Shipbuilding and INPEX Conduct Concept Study for 'Ammonia Bunkering Ship'
Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd, a member of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group, has recently completed a concept study of an "ammonia bunkering vessel" capable of supplying ammonia fuel to ships. . INPEX Co., Ltd. has extensive experience and achievements in the energy supply chain in order to meet the demand for fuel supply to ships using ammonia as fuel, which is expected to spread in the future. Minato Ward.
Ammonia does not emit carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) when burned, so it is expected to be used as a stable clean energy in the future, and it is a fuel that will greatly contribute to reducing GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions in the shipping industry. is attracting attention as For this project, MOL has made full use of its expertise in the design and construction of multi-purpose liquefied gas carriers capable of transporting ammonia. We proceeded with the concept study of the ammonia bunkering vessel.
Based on the knowledge and technical issues obtained from this project, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding will conduct further technical studies and aim to commercialize the ship through collaboration with related maritime-related companies. In addition, we will continue to consider various ship types to respond flexibly to customer needs across the entire value chain.
As a marine system integrator, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding will continue to actively develop and commercialize not only ammonia bunkering ships but also alternative fuel ships and equipment. We aim to realize a decarbonized society.
