Japanese shipping company Mitsui O.S.K. Lines’ (MOL) Wind Hunter project, a zero-emission initiative that utilizes wind power to produce hydrogen, has been selected by Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) to participate in a project to research the potential for achieving a hydrogen society.
As disclosed, this project, named ‘Development of Technologies for Realizing a Hydrogen Society,’ encompasses activities such as researching optimal wind conditions of the sea area around Japan for green hydrogen production, constructing a demonstration vessel under the Wind Hunter initiative, and analyzing the hydrogen supply chains.
To note, the Wind Hunter is understood to utilize offshore wind energy to produce hydrogen onboard vessels and supply it to the onshore market, with the aim of realizing a decarbonized, hydrogen-based society.
The initiative was…
