Tokyo, February 12, 2009 - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has developed and begun operational verification testing of the "MACH II-SI," a new gas engine featuring enhanced energy efficiency and reliability. The MACH II-SI was developed based on the company's existing "MACH-30G," which many units have been sold in Japan; but whereas the forerunner uses a "micro-pilot ignition" system, the new MACH II-SI adopts a spark ignition (SI) system that eliminates the need for auxiliary liquid pilot fuel such as light oil. In developing MACH II-SI, MHI focused on further enhancement of the efficiency leveraging its abundant experience accumulated in its existing engines. As a result, the new engine has achieved efficiency – combining power generation and heat energy recovery via steam – of 66.1%*, the world's highest level among 6,000 kilowatts (kW) class engines, in which electric power generation efficiency has been improved by 1 percentage point. |

NYK and Nippon Oil have jointly developed a full-scale solar power system for use on large ships, where it helps to supply power for propulsion.
The new solar power system, capable of generating 40 kW, will make its debut on a car carrier scheduled for completion on December 19, 2008. This full-scale installation of a solar power generator for large ships is the world’s first.
As the need to alleviate global warming becomes ever more pressing, NYK is actively conducting research and development into next-generation energy-efficient ships, including the use of renewable energy in all aspects of marine transportation. |
