In its
quest to decarbonize shipping, Japan-based Mitsui O.S.K. Lines is turning to
cow manure.
MOL has
teamed up with a company called to Air Water Inc. to study the use of liquefied
bio-methane in LNG-fueled vessels. The
LBM is produced by Air Water from cow manure in the Tokachi region of Hokkaido,
Japan.
Under a
Memorandum of Understanding, the two companies will seek to confirm that LBM
can be transported, supplied, and used without problems using existing shore
and onboard equipment.
LBM is seen as an alternative to LNG
as it uses unused biogas produced from cattle manure.
While
LNG fuel can reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by about 25% compared to
conventional fuel oil, further reductions can be obtained through the partial
use of LBM, a carbon-neutral energy source. Because the main component of both
LBM and LNG is methane, current LNG and LBM supply chains are interchangeable.
Air Water kicked off LBM production
in Japan in October.
The goal
is to use LBM on a MOL coastal LNG-fueled vessel in the first half of this
year, which will mark the first use of LBM as marine fuel in Japan.
