JERA launched a joint study with NYK Line and Resonac to develop a hydrogen and ammonia supply chain

JERA Co., Inc has concluded a joint study agreement with NYK Line and Resonac aimed at achieving the world’s first-ever supply of fuel ammonia to ships. 

“Committed to the JERA Zero CO2 Emissions 2050 objective, we are taking on the challenge of building a hydrogen and ammonia supply chain. This joint study aimed at supplying fuel ammonia to ships is the first example of a decarbonization solution that reaches beyond the power generation sector toward use in other industrial sectors (multi-purpose)”, the company said.

The agreement provides for a joint study by the three companies aimed at achieving the supply of fuel ammonia to a tugboat with a domestically produced ammonia-fueled engine being researched and developed by NYK Line as a Green Innovation Fund*1 project under Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).

Specific areas for joint study:
•    Establishment of safe operational methods for supplying fuel ammonia
•    Development of systems for transporting fuel ammonia to port areas and receiving it there 
•    Engagement with related organizations to formulate rules regarding the supply of marine fuel ammonia

We believe this first-in-the-world initiative to supply fuel to a ship equipped with an ammonia-fueled engine will, though the joint study, make a significant contribution to the promotion and adoption of fuel ammonia in the shipping sector.
