ClassNK releases “Guidelines for Shipboard CO2 Capture and Storage Systems”

“It is way too early to declare winners. The fuel technology readiness timeline will be incremental and go through a short game, a mid-game and a long game.”

The CARB has issued an approval for the ShoreKat vessel stack exhaust system for bulk vessels with one auxiliary engine.

Reduction in CO2 emissions from shortsea operations to be achieved by using bio-residual fuels on four container vessels.

The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD), the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) and Stena Bulk have started a two-year, three-phase project to demonstrate shipboard carbon capture at scale.

Researchers from Canada, US, England and Germany are working with a start-up company on Direct Air Capture (DAC), a technology that removes carbon dioxide from the air and compresses it for other uses.

The World Shipping Council (WSC) has announced a bold move to set the agenda on zero-carbon shipping ahead of the 78th session of the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (IMO MEPC 78) meeting in June this year.
