During a two-year-long project, divided into three stages, a seven-member consortium will test a carbon capture unit onboard a Stena Bulk MR tanker to assess the operational challenges on a ship at sea and identify potential cost reduction measures for future commercial applications.
Members of the consortium also include the American Bureau of Shipping, Deltamarin, and TNO.
The project is named Realising Maritime Carbon Capture to demonstrate the Ability to Lower Emissions (ReMarCCAbLE), and it has been described as the world’s first project aimed at demonstrating end-to-end shipboard carbon capture at scale.
