Advancements in ship-based carbon capture technology on board of LNG-fuelled ships

The International Maritime Organization has set clear objectives towards drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions the coming decades in the maritime sector. While different ways to reduce emissions are already proposed, these are not expected to generate high CO2 abatement rates (in the case of fuel saving measures) or to be available and...

Update on post-combustion carbon capture and storage on LNG fuelled vessels

The maritime industry has set clear objectives towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the coming decades. Ship based carbon capture (SBCC) could play a large role in reducing these emissions on the short term. This study gives an update on the work that has been conducted towards carbon capture and storage on LNG fuelled vessels. This is...

Post-combustion Carbon Capture and Storage on LNG Fuelled Ships

Post-combustion CO2 capture by absorption is a mature technology that has been implemented in many industrial applications to decrease CO2 emissions from large point sources. As demonstrated in this work, the CO2 capture process can be implemented onboard as a retrofit technology, thus enabling timely implementation; a key element for the...

Ship-based carbon capture onboard of diesel or LNG-fuelled ships

Total shipping carbon emissions were approximately 938 million tonnes CO 2 in 2012. Zero emission shipping options rely on the use of electricity or alternative fuels, such as blue hydrogen or ammonia. However, that requires major modifications to the ships and the logistics of fuel distribution. As a transition solution, which can be...
