As the shipping industry aims to decarbonise, onboard carbon capture emerges as a potential solution. But is it a game-changer or just an expensive experiment? We explore the pros and cons of this up-and-coming technology and its role in decarbonising maritime transport.
Fuel/Energy Type: CCS
First Japanese ship with onboard carbon capture delivered
As pressure mounts to cut CO2 emisions, shipowners are seeking ways to bring thier existing fleets in line with tightening regulations.
Engineering study charts potential of carbon capture technology to help decarbonize shipping
A project assessing the technical feasibility of onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS) in the shipping sector, carried out by the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI), the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) and Stena Bulk together with a consortium of the world’s leading maritime organisations, has concluded that the technology has the potential to help maritime transport significantly reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
Northern Lights is ready to receive CO2
The world’s first cross-border CO2 transport and storage facility is completed and ready to receive and store CO2.
IMO and onboard carbon capture, storage and sequestration
IMO is shaping global shipping’s future with regulations on onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS), carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration and cleaner fuel standards to meet its 2050 climate goals
