The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation has successfully tested onboard carbon capture technology, demonstrating its potential to reduce shipping emissions by capturing CO2 from a tanker and converting it into materials for steel and cement. However, the process faces challenges, including the need for onboard storage and additional fuel, resulting in only a minimal reduction in lifecycle emissions. The technology's scalability and cost-effectiveness remain uncertain, and current carbon accounting practices may not fully recognize the benefits of utilizing captured CO2.
