Abstract:
Decarbonisation is one of the greatest challenges the shipping industry has faced in its long history. At Wärtsilä, we believe that part of the solution lies in technology, and this is why one of the multiple research and development pathways we are focusing on is Onboard Carbon Capture and Storage system. From all the experience throughout the years with SOx scrubbing we believe that we are perfectly placed to pioneer Onboard Carbon Capture and Storage and unlock an immediate decarbonisation impact. Currently we are focusing on solvent-based scrubbing solution aiming at carbon capture rate in line with IMOs decarbonisation targets. We have successfully been operating our test installation since 2021 and have several pilot projects under work. We are currently working on the complete value chain to have a system that makes a genuine difference.“
