Wasserstoffbetriebene Schiffsmotoren und MHFS-Entwicklungausgewählt für das NEDO Green Innovation Fund-Projektzum Bau emissionsfreier Schiffe.

Herausforderungen

Angesichts der weltweit wachsenden Dynamik zur Dekarbonisierung ist die weitere Reduzierung der Treibhausgasemissionen zu einem dringenden Thema im Bereich der internationalen Schifffahrt geworden. Im Oktober 2021 kündigten die japanische Regierung und die Schifffahrtsindustrie das Ziel von Netto-Null-THG-Emissionen aus der internationalen Schifffahrt bis 2050 an, und die International Maritime Organization, die 2018 die Anfangsstrategie verabschiedete, um die Emissionen der internationalen Schifffahrt um mindestens 50 % zu reduzieren bis 2050, plant, diese Strategie im Jahr 2023 zu überarbeiten und weiter zu stärken.

Lösung

Die New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization, NEDO, startete dieses Projekt zur Entwicklung von Schiffen der nächsten Generation im Januar 2022, um emissionsfreie Schiffe zu bauen. Yanmar Power Technology hat sich mit Kawasaki Heavy Industries und der Japan Engine Corporation, J-ENG, zusammengetan, um den wasserstoffbetriebenen Schiffsmotor und MHFS ^*1 zu entwickeln, und spielt eine aktive Rolle in dem Projekt.

Die drei Unternehmen beteiligen sich gleichzeitig an Initiativen für wasserstoffbetriebene Schiffsmotoren, wobei Kawasaki mittelschnelllaufende 4-Takt-Motoren entwickelt, Yanmar mittel- und schnelllaufende 4-Takt-Motoren ^*2 entwickelt und J-ENG langsamlaufende 2 entwickelt -Takt-Motoren. Bis 2026 decken wir die komplette Motorenpalette ab, die für unterschiedlichste Anforderungen eingesetzt werden kann, und planen ein Pilotprogramm auf Schiffen im Betrieb mit Reedereien und Werften, das der Gesellschaft und der Wirtschaft zugute kommt.

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.

Mehrwert

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.

Herausforderungen

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.

Lösung

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.

Mehrwert

By promoting hydrogen-fueled cogeneration systems that generate electricity and heat efficiently, businesses can curb the amount of fossil fuels and grid electricity in their business activities, thereby contributing to a decarbonized society.
