en.Wedoany.com Reported - Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. ("K" LINE) has signed a long-term procurement agreement to promote the continuous use of carbon-neutral liquefied bio-methane (LBM) fuel and has begun applying this new fuel on its LNG-fueled car carriers. This initiative is expected to help "K" LINE reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 60,800 tons annually.

Bio-LNG fuel is an alternative to liquefied natural gas, produced from organic waste such as livestock manure and food residues. Throughout its lifecycle from production to consumption, this fuel has lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional fuels and can be directly used in existing LNG-fueled vessels, enhancing its applicability. "K" LINE plans to continuously apply this fuel on its existing LNG-fueled car carriers.

The bio-LNG used by "K" LINE has obtained ISCC-EU certification, indicating that this sustainable fuel derived from biomass and waste complies with EU legal requirements. This certification ensures the fuel meets sustainability and greenhouse gas reduction standards under the Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III).

By actively adopting such internationally certified fuels, "K" LINE will collaborate with cargo owners and other stakeholders to promote decarbonization throughout the supply chain.

In its "K" LINE Environmental Vision 2050, the company has set a goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. To this end, "K" LINE has been committed to introducing and operating LNG-fueled vessels, and the continuous use of bio-LNG is one of the key initiatives to achieve this goal. The company will continue to advance decarbonization in the marine transportation industry, including the use of carbon-neutral and zero-emission fuels.
