NX Shoji Launches Video on Tokyo's Decarbonized Fuel Initiative

NX Shoji Unveils New Video on Decarbonized Fuel Project in Tokyo

In an effort to elevate awareness around environmental sustainability, NX Shoji Co., Ltd. has released a video on January 22, 2026, further explaining its role in the "Tokyo Decarbonized Fuel Utilization Promotion Project." This initiative, supported by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, aims to foster a better understanding of decarbonized fuel among citizens, businesses, and local administrations.

Background of the Video Production

NX Shoji, headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, has been selected as a supported business for the project led by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Tokyo Environmental Public Corporation. The video outlines the company's unique biofuel supply scheme specifically designed for vessels operating in Tokyo Bay.

The project enhances sustainable shipping practices by providing a hybrid fuel comprising A heavy oil and biodiesel (FAME - Fatty Acid Methyl Ester), labeled as B24, to vessels traveling to and from the Port of Tokyo. Notable partners in this endeavor include Izu Seven Islands Shipping Co., Ltd., Fujii Oil Co., Ltd., Cosmo Oil Marketing Co., Ltd., NX Shipping Co., Ltd., Japan Salt Transport Co., Ltd., and Maruzen Ferry Co., Ltd. (in alphabetical order).

By producing this video, NX Shoji aims to improve environmental awareness and inform various stakeholders about the benefits and implications of using decarbonized fuel. The video serves as a medium to educate and engage a broader audience on the need for sustainable practices in maritime transportation, a sector often overlooked in discussions about carbon emissions.

The biodiesel used in this initiative, FAME, is derived from renewable resources and plays a pivotal role in decreasing greenhouse gas emissions from maritime operations. The shift towards using such sustainable fuels aligns with global efforts to combat climate change and is in line with Japan's national initiatives for reducing carbon footprints nationwide.

Where to Watch the Video

The informative video can be found on YouTube through the official channel of Nippon Express Holdings, featuring the title: NX Shoji's "Navigating Toward Decarbonization of the Oceans with Biofuel for Ships." Link to the video: Watch here.
