Kawasaki Heavy Industries, a renowned Japanese heavy industry manufacturer with a 130-year history, is working on the Kawasaki Hydrogen Road project in building hydrogen supply chains. To realize it, we use our extensive product network to manage all aspects of the hydrogen supply chain, including production, transportation, storage, and utilization. Kawasaki has also been pioneering liquefied hydrogen technology since 1978, achieving significant milestones such as the construction of the world's first liquefied hydrogen carrier, the "Suiso Frontier", in 2020. Currently we are designing even larger liquified hydrogen carriers.
In the marine machinery sector, Kawasaki is developing marine hydrogen engines, and MHFS, marine hydrogen fuel supply systems, to facilitate hydrogen utilization on ships. Additionally, Kawasaki is offering Electric & Hybrid Propulsion Systems, integrating ship propulsion and power supply to enhance energy efficiency. Notable projects include the battery propulsion systems for the world’s first battery-powered tanker and the Gas Engine hybrid system for a limestone carrier, which significantly reduce CO2 emissions. Kawasaki's focus on reducing fuel consumption and its innovative Energy Management & Propulsion Control system position it as a leader in alternative fuel solutions for achieving zero emissions by 2050.
