Nippon Yusen Co. Ltd (NYK) and its affiliated company Sanyo Kaiju Co. Ltd plan to operate the trail in order to compare cost and sustainability savings with normal fuel.<\/p>\n
Sanyo Kaiju\u2019s tugboat Tahara Maru<\/em> was supplied with fuel by mixing a certain amount of recycled edible waste oil with heavy fuel oil at Nagoya Port Garden Pier in Japan on 19 April.<\/p>\n Circular economy<\/strong><\/p>\n During the trial, the partners bunkered the biofuel using the Ship-to-Ship method with a bunkering ship – the first operation of its type in Japan, according to the two companies.<\/p>\n Some of the fuel for this first trial was supplied by the Toyota Group and Toyota Tsusho Group companies. <\/p>\n Nippon Yusen said this biofuel uses waste cooking oil as a raw material and contributes to the circular economy by building a supply chain through local production for local consumption.<\/p>\n Using this same method of fuel supply, the companies plan to carry out a total of three trials by July 2022. In addition, biofuel supply and test navigation will be carried out in conjunction with the Nagoya Port Authority.<\/p>\n The companies said that with increasing demands for reductions in greenhouse gases, biofuels are attracting attention as being already available among marine fuels to replace heavy oil. <\/p>\n NYK Line and Sanyo Maritime said they will promote the use of environmentally friendly fuels such as biofuels in order to contribute to the realisation of a carbon-free society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One carbon neutral effort is conducting a three month biofuel trial using tugboats<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2157,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[27,416,417,362,418,419,11],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-2156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","tag-biofuel","tag-nagoya-port-authority","tag-nippon-yusen-co-ltd","tag-port-vessels","tag-sanyo-kaiju-co-ltd","tag-toyota-group","tag-tugs"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2156"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2156\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2158,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2156\/revisions\/2158"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2156"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=2156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
