All-electric tanker powred by li-ion batteries

Japan

Japanese shipping company Asahi Tanker has announced it plans to build two “world-first” zero-emission electric propulsion tankers which will be powered by lithium-ion batteries.

With a tank capacity of around 1,300m3, the base battery capacity for the tanker will start at 3,500kWh. As such, the tanker will achieve zero emissions of CO2 (carbon dioxide), NOx (nitrogen oxide), SOx (sulfur oxide), and smoke.
