TECO 2030 launches next-generation marine emission reduction system – The TECO 2030 Future Funnel, says a press release published on their website.
Features of the revolutionary system
TECO 2030 Future Funnel is a unique concept of next generation marine emission reduction system and will be ready for future regulations, and in line with the initial IMO Greenhouse Gas (GHG) strategy.
Reduce emission
The Future Funnel will allow ships to reduce sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, black carbon and particulate matter emissions.
Carbon capture & storage
In addition, the system will be equipped with carbon capture and storage capabilities.
Ultra Low Emission Vessel
The unique Future Funnel solution can provide shipowners with “Ultra Low Emission Vessel” (ULEV) notation.
A significant contributor
Tore Enger, CEO of TECO 2030 ASA said, “Since more than 40 % of the fuel mix in 2050 is expected to be fossil fuels, the Future Funnel will be a significant contributor to the IMO GHG goals.”
Concept & collaboration
The concept builds on the first generation TECO 2030 Future Funnel with additional developments. Integration of the additional emission reduction modules is expected to start in early 2021.
The system is being developed in close collaboration with TECO 2030’s long-term partner AVL in Austria.
According to TECO 2030’s Chief Development Officer, Mr. Shyam Thapa, ”This will be the most comprehensive emission reduction system for shipowners looking towards future proofing their vessel operations on fossil fuel. The concept enables shipowners to receive Ultra Low Emission Vessel (ULEV) and Low Emission Vessel (LEV) class notation even when running on high sulphur fuel oil. This technology will also be an add-on to vessels that already have installed exhaust gas cleaning systems.”
Virtual form
TECO 2030 ASA’s CEO Tore Enger will participate at the Decarbonizing Shipping Virtual Forum on December 15th at 13:50 (CET) to talk about “The Pathways to Decarbonization”.
