Motores marítimos movidos a hidrogênio e desenvolvimento de MHFSselecionados para o Projeto NEDO Green Innovation Fundpara construir navios de emissão zero.

Desafios

Em meio ao crescente ímpeto global de descarbonização, a redução adicional das emissões de gases de efeito estufa tornou-se uma questão urgente no domínio da navegação internacional. Em outubro de 2021, o governo japonês e a indústria naval anunciaram uma meta de zero emissões líquidas de GEE do transporte marítimo internacional até 2050, e a Organização Marítima Internacional, que adotou a Estratégia Inicial em 2018 para reduzir as emissões do transporte marítimo internacional em pelo menos 50%. até 2050, planeja revisar e fortalecer ainda mais essa estratégia em 2023.

Solução

A Organização de Desenvolvimento de Nova Energia e Tecnologia Industrial, NEDO lançou este projeto para desenvolver embarcações marítimas de próxima geração em janeiro de 2022, para construir navios de emissão zero. A Yanmar Power Technology uniu forças com a Kawasaki Heavy Industries e a Japan Engine Corporation, J-ENG, para desenvolver o motor marítimo movido a hidrogênio e o MHFS ^*1 e está desempenhando um papel ativo no projeto.

As três empresas estão simultaneamente engajadas nas iniciativas para motores marítimos movidos a hidrogênio, com a Kawasaki desenvolvendo motores de 4 tempos de velocidade média, a Yanmar desenvolvendo motores de 4 tempos de velocidade média e alta ^*2 e a J-ENG desenvolvendo motores de 4 tempos de baixa velocidade 2 -motores de curso. Abordaremos toda a linha de motores que podem ser utilizados para atender às mais diversas necessidades até 2026, e planejamos realizar um programa piloto em navios em operação com companhias de navegação e estaleiros, o que trará benefícios para a sociedade e para a economia.

Through joint investment in a newly established company, HyEng and with MHFS developed at Kawasaki, the three companies are working together to build a hydrogen-fueled propulsion system by developing common technical elements such as basic combustion analysis, materials and sealing surfaces that meet ship classification regulations, and sharing testing facilities.

Valor fornecido

Through hydrogen-fueled engines, we will contribute to the reduction of GHG emissions in a wide range of applications, with ocean-going vessels as the main focus, and also domestic vessels. In addition, we will provide a hydrogen-fueled engine system that ensures the necessary redundancy for ships, saves space in the engine room, and satisfies NO_X and SO_X regulations. The project will also help the revitalization of the domestic maritime industry.

YANMAR ENERGY SYSTEM CO., LTD.

Contributing to the realization of a carbon-free society 100% hydrogen-fueled cogeneration manufactured by German company 2G to be sold in Japan and overseas by the end of FY 2022.

Desafios

The pursuit of energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are essential to achieve a carbon-free society. Wind power generation and solar power generation are also spreading in Japan, but the fluctuation of energy production remains a challenge, due to the characteristics of dealing with nature. Therefore, expectations are high for hydrogen as a new energy source. Hydrogen energy can be produced from various energy sources, including renewable energy, and has the advantage of not emitting CO₂ when used. Businesses are increasingly focusing on this as a medium- to long-term key to achieving carbon neutrality.

Solução

Yanmar Energy System has concluded a sales agreement for the 100% hydrogen-fueled cogeneration system manufactured by the German company 2G Energietechnik GmbH. The agreement is for Asia, including Japan, the Middle East, and Africa, and the system will be used in Japan within this fiscal year. We plan to handle a total of 5 models^* with a power generation capacity of 115 kW to 750 kW.

By November 2022, the machine will be installed at Yanmar Energy System’s Okayama Test Center for validation of construction and maintainability. In 2023, we will also open a facility where customers can see the actual product, and propose this system as a solution that includes hydrogen supply for various environmentally friendly projects and companies. We will also promote technological development so that gas engines made by Yanmar are also compatible with hydrogen fuel.

In the future, we will continue to propose total energy solutions, including CHP and hydrogen generators, and strengthen our initiatives to solve our customers’ energy challenges and realize a carbon-free society.
