To emphasize the necessity of applying onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS) technology based on international maritime decarbonization regulatory trends, the current status of technology development, regional policy trends, and commercialization improvement challenges are introduced. In particular, the practical issues that need to be addressed and the corresponding level of technology required for the application of OCCS technology on ships are demonstrated through case studies.

Applying Alternative Fuels to Existing Ships (Engine Retrofit Report 2023)
To explore decarbonization through retrofitting existing ships and analyze the price gap between alternative fuels and conventional fuels through forecast scenarios for the application of alternative fuel technologies in ship retrofits
It is worth noting that this report proposes a required carbon tax of $350 per ton of CO2 in order to bridge the price gap between existing marine fuels and the latest eco-friendly alternative fuels, such as methanol and ammonia.
The role of energy efficiency regulations
The characteristics of the EEDI, EEXI, and CII regulations on ship energy efficiency and their practical impact on the maritime industry were analyzed. The role of each stakeholder in achieving the original purpose of these regulations was explained in realistic terms.
In particular, it introduces the positive impact of the EEDI regulation on the development of energy efficiency improvement technologies of ships, the limitations of the EEXI regulation, and the interrelationships between stakeholders for effective implementation of the CII regulation.
