Norwegian Vessel Equipped with Onboard Carbon Capture System

• Solvang retrofitted Clipper Eris with the first onboard carbon capture and storage system.
• The system aims to cut CO2 emissions by 70% by capturing and storing carbon from the exhaust.
• The project supports IMO’s decarbonization goals and shows Solvang’s commitment to sustainability.
• Solvang plans to implement the system on seven more ships.

Onboard Carbon Capture: A Step Towards Cleaner Maritime Operations

The Clipper Eris now features a system that captures CO2 from exhaust, liquefies it, and stores it onboard. This CO2 can be used for industrial purposes or stored underground, offering a dual approach to emission reduction and carbon utilization.

A Game-Changing Innovation in Maritime Sustainability

CEO Edvin Endresen emphasized that this onboard carbon capture technology, along with existing cleaning methods, helps decarbonize deep-sea fleets. The shipping industry’s emissions contribute significantly to global greenhouse gases, and this innovation addresses that challenge.

Supporting Global Decarbonization Efforts

The IMO aims to reduce shipping emissions by 20-30% by 2030 and reach zero emissions by 2050. Solvang’s pilot project with Clipper Eris aligns with these ambitious targets, demonstrating proactive efforts toward global sustainability goals.

Expanding Sustainable Practices Across the Fleet

Solvang plans to equip seven more ships with the carbon capture system, showcasing its dedication to sustainable shipping practices. Partner Wärtsilä praised the project, marking a significant step for maritime sustainability.
