Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha., Ltd. (“K” LINE) on Monday (25 September) said it established a system for certifying the amount of CO2 reduction from marine biofuels and issuing certificates, in association with Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK). 

“K” Line said it carried out a test operation of the “K” LINE-operated supramax bulker ALBION BAY using marine biofuels last year, with the cooperation of JFE Steel Corporation and Sumitomo Corporation. 

Following the operation, “K” LINE has officially issued a certificate to certify the amount of CO2 reduction achieved during the test operation in comparison to the use of heavy oil. 

Going forward, “K” LINE said it will continue to enhance corporate non-financial information disclosure to respond the needs from its stakeholders, which is increasing year by year, as an initiative to quantitatively indicate the degree of environmental contributions of our customers’ supply chains (Scope 3 emissions).
