The LNG obtained for Kyuden’s thermal nuclear power plant will certainly be provided to the vessels as gas at the packing center of Kitakyushu Liquefied Natural Gas Co., Inc., a 75% possessed subsidiary of Kyuden.
The 3 business add to the awareness of a reduced carbon culture by the application of LNG as a green gas which properly minimizes carbon exhausts from aquatic transportation.
NYK, MOL, and also Kyuden goal to favorably work together for lasting aquatic transport of coal, with the decrease of its ecological influence.
