Following a test operation of the Supramax bulker ‘Albion Bay’ using marine biofuels in 2022, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (‘K’ Line) has now established a system for certifying the amount of CO2 reduction from marine biofuels and issuing certificates.
‘K’ Line carried out the biofuel test operation on its operated bulker with the cooperation of JFE Steel Corporation and Sumitomo Corporation. The certificates are issued in association with Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK), and certify the amount of CO2 reduction (heavy oil comparison) achieved.
‘K’ Line says it will continue to enhance corporate non-financial information disclosure to respond the needs from stakeholders, which is increasing year by year, as an initiative to quantitatively indicate the degree of environmental contributions of customers’ supply chains (Scope 3 emissions). The group will continue to promote its low-carbon/decarbonisation and low-carbon/decarbonised society in order to realise a sustainable society and increase its corporate value, based on its corporate principles as a logistics company rooted in the shipping industry.
