NYK Line, JMU and ClassNK partner to commercialize ammonia-fueled ammonia gas carrier

Green Car Congress

In particular, a significant reduction in CO 2 emissions is expected to be achieved by replacing coal and natural gas as the main fuels for power generation. These technologies are aimed at generating electricity by co-firing ammonia at coal-fired power stations. Ammonia is expected to be used as an alternative fuel for vessels.
