DNV has confirmed that Carbon Ridge’s centrifugal onboard carbon capture system (OCCS) can achieve CO2 capture rates of up to 98%. Tested on the LR2 product tanker STI Spiga, this innovative technology marks a significant advancement in maritime carbon capture, with a compact design that reduces space requirements by 75%.
The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) in Singapore has launched a groundbreaking study, COLOSSUS, analyzing emissions savings and costs related to onboard carbon capture and storage systems (OCCS). It evaluates five OCCS technologies and highlights significant GHG reductions, particularly with advanced systems and biofuels, offering vital insights for shipowners.
ClassNK has granted approval in principle to Mitsubishi Shipbuilding for their Onboard Carbon Capture and Storage system. This certification confirms the system’s feasibility in meeting regulatory and safety standards. The OCCS is part of efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships, aligning with the industry’s focus on CO2 capture methods and fuel conversion.
