To strengthen international cooperation for decarbonisation, NYK has participated in two recent events at which the company presented its concept for using ammonia as marine fuel to achieve zero-emission ships.
Ammonia does not emit carbon dioxide (CO2) when it is heated and would thus be expected to contribute to the effort to address global warming. In addition, if CO2-free hydrogen is used, zero emissions are said to be achieved. NYK is thus considering the use of ammonia as marine fuel, one of the solutions for decarbonisation.
