Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), a major shipping company, is partnering with Takanashi Milk Products, a dairy firm, to explore the potential of eco-friendly biomethane.
A group of Japan ese companies has initiated a study to assess the viability of utilizing biomethane produced from animal manure as a clean fuel source for ships.
“In this study, the six organizations will evaluate the feasibility of using all or part of the biomethane produced in Hamanaka Town to fuel factories and vessels, leading to major progress toward the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050,” the press release noted. In recent years, liquified natural gas has been a significant step forward in reducing carbon emissions. LNG is a cleaner alternative to coal and oil and cuts CO2 emissions by 25-40 percent.
Plus, biomethane production may help in the better management of organic waste in Japan. This in turn could reduce landfill waste and potential environmental hazards.
