The facility is expected to commence operations in 2025.
In the "NYK Group Decarbonization Story" released in November 2023, NYK set the goal of achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. "Maximizing energy efficiency and transitioning to next-generation fuels remain our top priorities for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions," said NYK.
Despite these continuing efforts, some residual emissions in the shipping industry cannot be avoided. In this context, reliable CDR credits generated by DACCS offer an effective means to offset these residual emissions and support its net-zero goal.
Going forward, and in line with the official position paper on the use of CDR credits, NYK said it will continue to promote initiatives that contribute to reducing GHG emissions through various credits.
