Description
The maritime industry is crucial for global freight transportation but heavily relies on fossil fuels, leading to significant carbon emissions. While exploring zero-emission power sources is important, there is an urgent need for feasible technologies to reduce emissions in the short term. Carbon capture and storage technology provides a potential decarbonization solution for existing fossil fuel-powered ships in the maritime industry. Tankers, bulk carriers, and container vessels, which contribute substantially to the industry's carbon footprint, are prime candidates for implementing CCS.
Among various capture technologies, solvent-based post-combustion capture shows great promise for the maritime sector. However, implementing CCS on ships, regardless of the chosen technology, presents technical, economical, and environmental challenges. In order to assess the feasibility of CCS implementation on both retrofit and new-built ships, factors like ship layout, heat and power balance, fuel consumption, and engine type has been considered.
