The committee members sought to exchange information with NYK on its decarbonization strategy as Germany promotes the digitization and decarbonization of the country's transportation infrastructure.
During the meeting, NYK explained its roadmap to 2050 net-zero emissions based on the NYK Group Decarbonization Story
released in November 2023 and exchanged views on the following topics related to the use of ammonia.
- Prospects for ammonia use as a next-generation ship fuel, and value chain development
- Current status of the ammonia fuel-related businesses in which the NYK Group is engaged (i.e., developing an ammonia-fuel tugboat and ammonia-fueled ammonia gas carrier).
In March 2023, the NYK Group released its medium-term management plan, “Sail Green, Drive Transformations 2026 — A Passion for Planetary Wellbeing.”
The NYK Group is promoting growth strategies with ESG at the core, based on the Group’s basic philosophy of “Bringing value to life” and a new corporate vision for 2030, which reads, “we go beyond the scope of a comprehensive global logistics enterprise to co-create value required for the future by advancing our core business and growing new ones.”
