Short description
Carbon capture systems remove carbon dioxide from exhaust gases before they are released into the atmosphere. The captured CO₂ is stored on board for later handling.
What it includes
- CO₂ capture units installed in exhaust systems
- Temporary onboard storage of captured carbon
- Handling and discharge of CO₂ in port
Why it matters
Carbon capture can significantly reduce direct CO₂ emissions from ships using conventional fuels.
