1ビンゴ 5 の 結果 for a Japanese Electric Power Company: ビンゴ 5 の 結果 Conducts Technical Trial Voyage Using Biofuel 'B30' on Coal Carrier Serving Hokuriku Electric Power

June 27, 2025

TOKYO-Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (ビンゴ 5 の 結果; President & CEO: Takeshi Hashimoto) today announced that on June 26, it refueled its operated coal carrier HOKULINK (Note 1) with biofuel at Yeosu Port in South Korea. The HOKULINK, which transports coal for Hokuriku Electric Power Company (President: Koji Matsuda; Head Office: Toyama-shi, Toyama Prefecture), then began technical trial voyages using biofuel.

Refueling with biofuel at Yeosu Port in South Korea

The biofuel used for this refueling is ISCC-EU (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification Note 2) certified and is a blend of 30% organic resources derived from living organisms (biomass), such as waste cooking oil, and mineral oil (B30). It is expected to reduce CO2 emissions during navigation by approximately 30% compared to conventional fossil fuels (Note 3). This marks the first use of B30 in a technical trial navigation by a Japanese electric power company. The use of biofuels requires no modifications to conventional marine diesel engines, making them an effective alternative to fossil fuels and an effective means of reducing GHG emissions. Based on the environmental strategy in its BLUE ACTION 2035 management plan, the ビンゴ 5 の 結果 Group will continue to proactively adopt clean fuels with the aim of decarbonizing marine transport.

Note 1: Please refer to the related press releases below.

Note 2: International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) EU certification
It certifies that sustainable fuels made from biomass and waste meet EU legal requirements for sustainability and greenhouse gas emission reduction standards, as stipulated by the European Renewable Energy Directive (RED II).

Note 3: Although biofuels emit carbon dioxide (CO2) when burned, the plants used as raw materials absorb CO2 and reproduce biomass, so the amount of CO2 emitted during direct combustion is considered to be effectively zero. For this reason, biofuels are attracting attention as fossil fuel alternatives that can achieve carbon neutrality.

ビンゴ 5 の 結果 Group 5 Sustainability Issues
ビンゴ 5 の 結果 Group identifies "Sustainability Issues" (Materiality) as our key issues for sustainable growth with society through realization of the Group Vision.
We anticipate this initiative to contribute especially to the realization of "Environment -Conservation for Marine and global environment-".
