Slaked-lime carbon capture tech targets shipping and cement


London-based marine carbon capture specialist Seabound has launched a project that equips a cement-carrying ship with a system that captures carbon dioxide from its exhaust. The CO2 can then be converted into CO2 as feedstock for low-carbon cement manufacture.

The system has been fitted to the UBC Cork, a 5,700 gross tonne transport ship owned by Hartmann Group and managed by InterMaritime Group. Once captured, the CO2 will be offloaded at the Port of Brevik in Norway before being used in Heidelberg Materials’ Brevik cement plant.

Alisha Fredrikksson, CEO and co-founder of Seabound, said, “We’re … excited to be advancing this work in Brevik, a strategic location that’s rapidly establishing itself as a global hub for CCS with Heidelberg’s world-first facility and the Northern Lights pick-up point.”
