“K” LINE Joins the e-NG Coalition, an International e-Methane Alliance

Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K” LINE) joins the e-NG*1 Coalition, the world’s first international alliance targeting the global expansion of e-methane.

The members of this alliance founded on October 20, 2024, envision that e-methane will accelerate the energy transition towards a carbon-neutral society. The coalition seeks to promote e-NG (e-methane), build a global market with aligned emissions accounting and certification standards, and reinforce cooperation between all stakeholders along the e-methane value chain. The coalition will play an important role in the energy transition by aligning industry innovation with ambitious climate policies. At this time, 9 companies*2 have joined this alliance, which consists of a total of 17 member companies.

As the international shipping company in the e-NG Coalition, “K” LINE will contribute to the global expansion of e-methane and the establishment of a global supply chain. *3

e-Methane is a carbon neutral fuel which is made through the methanation*4 of both green hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Its ingredients are almost the same as liquified natural gas, so it is also expected to be used as a marine fuel.

The “K” LINE Group is promoting a variety of initiatives to support the low-carbon and carbon-free efforts for itself and society in accordance with its Environmental Vision 2050*5 long-term environmental policy.
