    - Adoption aims to promote use of ammonia fuel, toward achieving net zero GHG emissions by the global maritime industry by or around 2050
    TOKYO, Apr 10, 2024 - (JCN Newswire) - Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, has received an order from Japan Engine Corporation (J-ENG) for an ammonia fuel supply system (AFSS) and ammonia gas abatement system (AGAS).
  • The AFSS will supply ammonia fuel to ammonia-powered marine engines developed by J-ENG, and the AGAS will safely treat any surplus ammonia.
  • The newly ordered AFSS and AGAS are remotely controlled automatically by an integrated control system.
  • Because ammonia emits no CO2 when combusted, adoption of ammonia fuel is expected to contribute to the development of decarbonized infrastructure in the maritime industry.
