FUTURE INSIGHT
Onboard Carbon Capture and Storage (OCCS)
Onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS) systems are a potentially important technical solution to the reduction of GHG emissions in shipping. OCCS systems remove and store CO2 from exhaust for later deposit or utilization.
The Technical Seminar on Onboard Carbon Capture and Storage (OCCS), organized by The Future Fuels and Technology Team, was held at IMO Headquarters on 11 September 2025 to share technical knowledge between stakeholders on the current state of OCCS technologies. The hybrid event was attended by around 400 participants.
The diverse group of speakers at this event shared their perspectives on various aspects of OCCS technologies including practical experiences from existing onboard projects, development of the OCCS value chain, alternative carbon capture technologies and the role of OCCS within the broader context of the shipping industry.
