DNV Report Highlights Need for Regulatory Framework to Accelerate CO₂ Capture in Shipping Sector
CARBON CAPTURE
A DNV report commissioned by five major shipping companies underscores the importance of a clear legislative framework to facilitate Onboard Carbon Capture and Storage (OCCS) investments in the shipping industry. The report indicates that OCCS can significantly reduce CO₂ emissions alongside low-emission fuels.
It recommends using the Asia-North Europe trade route as a testbed for OCCS, citing its high emissions and existing CO₂ storage projects in Rotterdam and Singapore. The report also mentions the successful completion of a pilot project in Rotterdam involving the Ever Top vessel.
