Summary
The Nippon Foundation oversaw a successful test voyage of the Kikou Maru, a Japanese vessel equipped with a hydrogen-combustion engine. During the trial on September 25, the ship traveled approximately 33 km across Osaka Bay while operating on hydrogen power for roughly two hours. This demonstration, which also involved the tanker referred to as the Kikou Maro, aimed to advance the decarbonization of the maritime industry and resulted in a reduction of approximately 1.2 tonnes of CO2 emissions compared to standard fossil fuels.
