Cyprus joins EU-funded push to decarbonise global maritime transport
Cyprus took centre stage in a groundbreaking effort to decarbonise the shipping industry, as the island plays a key role in supporting a first-of-its-kind onboard carbon capture project.
SMDERI-QET achieves world’s first ship-to-ship LCO₂ transfer
On 19 June, the world’s first ship-to-ship liquified carbon dioxide (LCO₂) transfer was successfully completed at the Yangshan Deep-Water Port in Hangzhou Bay, Shanghai.
Commercial structure, not technology, holds back CO2 shipping
CO2 Shipping & Terminals conference speakers stress that commercial models, not engineering gaps, are the real barrier
Shipping is one of the world’s dirtiest industries – could this invention finally clean up cargo fleets?
Freighters emit more greenhouse gases than jets, but a tech startup believes a simple and effective technique can help the industry change course
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.
Onboard carbon capture: a bridge to zero-emission shipping?
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.
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.
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
