Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) has been selected by Japan's New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) to participate in a project aimed at researching the potential for achieving a hydrogen society. The project, named 'Development of Technologies for Realizing a Hydrogen Society / Regional Hydrogen Utilization Technology Development,' focuses on utilizing wind power through MOL's Wind Hunter Project to produce green hydrogen energy for local production and consumption in Japan. MOL's efforts in optimizing hydrogen production vessels, researching ideal wind conditions, and establishing hydrogen supply chains were highly praised by NEDO, leading to its selection for the project. The Wind Hunter Project, launched by MOL in November 2020, aims to use offshore wind energy to produce hydrogen onboard vessels for supply to the onshore market, ultimately contributing to the realization of a decarbonized hydrogen-based society. By conducting various demonstrations and successfully supplying green hydrogen production with offshore wind to shore, MOL is pioneering advancements in the industry. The company plans to build and commercialize a demonstration vessel by the 2030s, with a model of the Wind Hunter already showcased at Expo 2025 Osaka. In alignment with its goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, MOL is committed to pursuing renewable energy projects and establishing clean energy supply chains. Through initiatives like the Wind Hunter Project, MOL not only aims to reduce GHG emissions in its own operations but also contribute to broader societal decarbonization efforts. The project signifies a significant step towards building a sustainable world with reduced GHG emissions and increased reliance on renewable energy sources.
