TOKYO -- Japanese trading house Mitsui & Co. will start producing environmentally friendly ammonia fuel, Nikkei has learned.
Mitsui plans to invest more than 100 billion yen ($899 million) to build a production plant for so-called "blue ammonia," which does not emit carbon dioxide when burned. The plant, which is to go up in Western Australia, will have the capacity to ship 1 million tons of the fuel to Japan annually.
