  • The partners plan to produce 200,000 metric tons of green ammonia annually and supply it to industrial parties in Japan, focusing on the Kyushu region, contributing to the establishment of next-generation energy supply chains.
  • Green ammonia, produced using renewable energy, is considered a powerful energy resource for a decarbonized society as it does not emit CO2 during production or combustion.
  • NYK is also pioneering ammonia-fueled transportation, with plans to operate the world's first commercially operated ammonia-fueled ship by the end of August 2024, showcasing its commitment to sustainable energy solutions.
Japanese shipping giant NYK has entered into an agreement for the marine transport of green ammonia from India to Japan. The collaboration involves Kyushu Electric Power Company, Sojitz Corporation, and Sembcorp Green Hydrogen, a subsidiary of Semcorp. The signing ceremony for this partnership took place in Delhi, India, with a focus on producing competitive green ammonia in a country abundant in renewable energy resources. The aim is to annually produce 200,000 metric tons of green ammonia and supply it to industrial parties in Japan, particularly in the Kyushu region, contributing to the development of next-generation energy supply chains. Green ammonia, being produced using renewable energy, is highlighted for its role as a potent energy resource in a decarbonized society due to its lack of CO2 emissions during production or combustion. NYK's commitment to sustainable energy solutions is further exemplified by their recent milestone of conducting the world's first truck-to-ship bunkering of ammonia for an ammonia-fueled tugboat. The company plans to have the world's first commercially operated ammonia-fueled ship in operation by the end of August 2024, emphasizing their dedication to innovative and eco-friendly transportation solutions.
