DecarbonICE, a consortium of leading ship companies, has teamed up with the Maritime Development Centre to develop an on-board carbon capture and storage solution.
DecarbonICE is based on two new main ideas for the capture and storage of carbon dioxide (CO2), respectively. In the process, the CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the ship exhaust are captured on board in a cryogenic process and turned into dry ice.
Proven offshore technology is then applied during normal ship operations to transport the dry ice into the seafloor sediments. Here the CO2 will be safely and permanently stored as liquid CO2 and CO2 hydrate.
The use of such technology will help the shipping industry to achieve the International Maritime Organisation’s 2050 target of a 50% CO2 emissions reduction compared to the 2008 level.
