Innovative Mobile Emissions Capture Technology Launched for Maritime Industry Growth

STAX Engineering, based in Long Beach, California, has seen rapid growth with the introduction of its innovative emissions capture and control technology. The company offers a mobile exhaust capture system that can be easily adapted to fit all ships without modification, removing 99% of particulate matter (PM) and 95% of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from exhaust emissions. This solution was developed by Bob Sharp, the founder and CTO of STAX Engineering, who envisioned a cleaner future with a mobile emissions capture and control system.

The maritime industry, facing stricter emissions regulations and pressure to reduce environmental impact, has become a key focus for STAX. California, in particular, presents a significant opportunity due to regulations aimed at improving air quality by minimizing pollution from docked ships. STAX’s system offers a practical solution to address air quality challenges and health concerns associated with emissions from vessels at berth. The company is actively expanding its system to include carbon capture, with plans to roll out this feature by 2025.

STAX has quickly gained market acceptance and is experiencing momentum in its growth. The company has mobilized multiple barges along the California coast and plans to have 25 barges servicing ports in California by the end of 2025. As demand for their solution increases, STAX is focused on managing its fleet of barges across U.S. ports and is rapidly hiring and expanding its team to meet industry needs. The company aims to continue its growth by expanding to other port sites and adopting a region-specific approach to barge manufacturing for effective and sustainable production processes.
