MOL and Air Water begin joint study on use of Liquefied Bio methane as Marine Fuel
For Trial Use on a MOL Group LNG fueled Vessel
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, and Air Water announced the signing of Memorandum of Understanding to jointly study the trial use of liquefied bio-methane derived from cattle manure, in LNG fueled vessels.
This joint study will be conducted as part of an LBM technology research and development program approved by Japan’s Ministry of the Environment and promoted by Air Water. LBM is produced from cattle manure in the Tokachi region of Hokkaido by Air Water. The two companies will confirm that LBM can be transported, supplied, and used without problems using existing shore and onboard equipment. The goal is to use LBM on the MOL Group’s coastal LNG fueled vessel in the first half of FY2023. This will be the first use of LBM as marine fuel in Japan.
