Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) is working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vessels, and contributes to the clean energy supply chain from upstream to downstream.
Responding to and leveraging the global shift in energy sources, MOL actively develop the negative emission business as one of the important frameworks to make net zero possible. Through these businesses, we will also contribute to the reduction of emissions throughout society.
Toward the realization of a low‑carbon and decarbonized society, MOL Group deploys low‑carbon and decarbonization solutions that complement reductions in its own emissions and contribute to GHG reductions both within and beyond the value chain, across each stage from manufacturing to transportation and supply.
As part of these initiatives, MOL Group offers the following services.
In addition to reducing emissions from the value chain, including MOL, we engage with Carbon Dioxiced Removal (CDR) to contribute to the mitigation actions beyond the value chain (BVCM).
Given the limited remaining carbon budget, we are taking initiatives to support the scaling of CDR from now, in addition to reducing the emission from value chain.
MOL conducted a pilot with 123Carbon B.V., issuing digital environmental attribute certificates for a voyage using biomethanol, enabling customers to reduce Scope 3 emissions.
We are the first APAC shipping company to issue EACs on 123Carbon's platform and are enhancing carbon insetting services to aid customers in meeting emission reduction goals.
This is an ultimate zero emission project under the Wind Challenger Project, currently in progress with MOL.
Offshore wind energy from sails is used not only as a propulsive force for the vessels, but also for the generation of hydrogen. We are studying ways to supply hydrogen to users on shore by combining this system with fuel cell, etc.
We MOL Group offering a range of services in the value chains of offshore wind power, an emerging renewable energy field. Utilizing the knowledge of the MOL Group as a whole, we provide total support for the spread of offshore wind power generation, from site investigation and assessment to transportation and logistics, installation and construction, and O&M.
With the combined strength of MOL Group, we provide optimal solutions for transporting special cargo, including heavy-lift and oversized cargo.
Leveraging a diverse fleet—such as crane‑equipped multipurpose vessels, module carriers, bulk carriers, and pure car carriers (PCCs)—we deliver the most suitable ocean transportation tailored to cargo characteristics and project requirements.
Our end-to-end services cover everything from ocean transportation to customs clearance, inland transportation, and on-site installation, seamlessly integrating logistics and engineering expertise to support complex projects with certainty.
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) carried out the marine transportation of the rigid wing sail of the “WIND CHALLENGER”—a hard sail wind propulsion system— to be installed on a newly-built LNG carrier. The sail was transported by sea from Japan to South Korea.
MOL presents a case study on transporting wind turbine blades.
MOL Group is advancing the adoption of alternative fuels, including low‑carbon and zero‑emission fuels, toward net‑zero emissions by 2050.
By selecting fuels suited to vessel type and operations, efforts are expanded from practical solutions today to future large‑scale implementation.
