Summary
Two gas carriers booked from Mitsui OSK Lines will let Jera ship low-carbon ammonia from the US to Japan, marking a concrete step in its fuel supply buildout.
MOL said the vessels will carry ammonia from the Blue Point project in Louisiana to Jera’s Hekinan thermal power station in Aichi prefecture.
Shipments are scheduled to begin around Japan’s fiscal 2029, giving Jera a dedicated transport link for the alternative fuel.
The move supports Jera’s broader effort to establish a Japan supply chain for low-carbon ammonia as a substitute fuel for thermal power generation.
