NYK signs basic agreement for marine transport of green ammonia from India to Japan
NYK reached a basic agreement for the marine transport of green ammonia* to Japan in collaboration with Kyushu Electric Power Company, Incorporated, Sojitz Corporation, and Sembcorp Green Hydrogen Pte. Ltd. , a wholly owned subsidiary of Sembcorp Industries, a leading energy company in Asia engaged in a project to produce green ammonia. NYK General Manager of the Next Generation Fuel Business Group Takahiro Rokuroda attended the signing ceremony in Delhi, India.
This project aims to produce highly competitive green ammonia in India, a country with abundant renewable energy resources. In June, Kyushu Electric and Sojitz, together with Sembcorp, reached a basic agreement to supply green ammonia produced in this project to various industrial customers in Japan, primarily in the Kyushu region.
The agreement is based on the premise that approximately 200,000 metric tons of green ammonia will be produced annually through this project and transported to Kyushu region meeting end user demand utilizing NYK's experience and knowledge in the marine transport of ammonia.
Through the marine transport, NYK will continue to contribute to establishing supply chains of next generation energy such as ammonia, in the Kyushu region and elsewhere in Japan.
