~ ~ using the Green Innovation Fund ~ ~ October 26th, 2021, IHI, Japan Shipping Co., Ltd., Japan Shipyad Co., Ltd., general financial group, Japan Maritime Association, Japan Shipping Co., Ltd., JAPAN engine Co., Ltd., IHI prime mover, Japan Sipyad Co., Ltd., part of the Green Innovation Fund (Note 1), the national research and development legal person New Energy Industry Technology Comprehensive Development Agency (hereinafter referred to as "NEDO") is openly solicited and adopted by the general consortium legal person of the cooperative organization, the Japan Maritime Association. It is planned to start "the development of ships carrying ammonia fuel domestic engines" from December 2021. Through ammonia as fuel, greenhouse gas (Greenhouse Gas, hereinafter referred to as "greenhouse gas") emissions can be greatly reduced than in the past, with the target earlier than 2030 social implementation, in the future we will strive to achieve zero emissions from ships. 1. The goal is to take the lead in the development of internationally competitive ammonia fuel vessels in other countries, and to contribute to the safety guidelines and legal provisions of the Japanese-led ammonia fuel tankers, which is the biggest goal of the five parties. In order to achieve the goal, Japan's domestic marine engine manufacturers, shipyards, classification associations and shipping companies have cooperated consistently from the stage of research and development to engine development, ship construction and commercialization. two。 With the entry into force of the Paris Agreement in 2016 as an opportunity, the global opportunity for decarbonization is growing. The Japanese government will reduce greenhouse gas emissions as a whole to zero by 2050, and the trend of achieving energy transfer in a decarbonized society is accelerating. In the field of shipping, greenhouse gas emission reduction has also become an urgent issue, to convert marine fuel from traditional heavy oil to liquefied natural gas (LNG), and further popularize research and development to the next generation of zero-emission fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia. Since ammonia does not emit carbon dioxide (CO2) even if it is burned, it is expected to become the next generation of fuel to contribute to global warming, and zero emission taking into account the life cycle of the fuel can be achieved through the active use of CO2 free hydrogen (Note 2) in hydrogen as a feedstock of ammonia. In this context, the Ministry of economy, Trade and Industry launched the Green Innovation Fund for carbon neutrality by 2050, and this time approved the development of ships with engines using ammonia in the NEDO-funded cause. 3. The outline of the empirical cause and the role of participating companies this time through the development and operation of ammonia fuel tugboats and the development and operation of ammonia fuel ammonia carriers, empirical undertakings have been implemented under the financial support of NEDO. (1) the development and operation of ammonia fuel tug (A-Tug:Ammonia-fueled Tug Boat), because the flame retardancy of ammonia fuel is difficult to ignite becomes the bottleneck, so this project envisages to use a small amount of fuel oil as ignition fuel. Take navigation by 2024 as the target, and achieve greenhouse gas emissions with a mixed burning rate of ammonia fuel of more than 80%. In the future, through the use of biofuels as ignition fuel, considering that the total greenhouse gas emissions are zero, efforts will be made to improve the mixed combustion rate and confirm the stable operation through empirical operation. (2) taking the development and operation of ammonia fuel ammonia carrier (AFAGC:Ammonia-fueled Ammonia Gas Carrier) as the goal of navigation in 2026, carrying ammonia as cargo. During the voyage, the development and operation of the ammonia fuel ammonia carrier based on the concept of movement of ammonia gasified from the cargo and the cargo is the goal. The aim is to reduce GHG emissions by achieving a maximum ammonia fuel mixed burning rate of 95% in the main engine of the moving ship and more than 80% in the auxiliary engine running the generator. 4.

As a method to generate CO2-free hydrogen, there are methods to produce hydrogen from renewable energy (solar, wind, geothermal, etc.), and to recover and store CO2 from fossil fuels (natural gas, coal, etc.). Ammonia using hydrogen produced by the above method as raw material is considered to be CO2-free ammonia and is expected to be used as fuel and hydrogen energy carrier. (note 3) the basic four processes (suction, compression, combustion expansion, exhaust) of a 4-stroke engine are carried out between 2 turns of the crankshaft (2 round trips of the piston rising and falling, that is, 4 strokes). According to the setting of the diameter and speed of the piston, the output range is wide, which is used for marine propulsion and power generation. (note 4) A 2-stroke engine refers to an engine that burns once per lap (piston reciprocating). It is characterized by a small number of parts and a light and compact weight. As the main engine of a large ship, the two-stroke diesel engine is equipped with an exhaust turbocharger, adopts an ultra-long stroke structure, and has a thermal efficiency of more than 50%. It can improve the efficiency of the propeller by achieving low rotation / large output and contribute to the energy-saving operation of the ship.
