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.
Fuel/Energy Type: CCS
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.
