Value Maritime has developed an onboard CO₂ Capture and Storage solution for the Maritime Industry . A Capture Module capture CO₂ from the watercraft ’s exhaust system and apply the CO₂ to shoot down a CO₂ Battery ; a CO₂ storage facility on which CO₂ can be turn on and discharged . The Capture mental faculty will be integrate into Value Maritime ’s Filtree System ; a small prefabricate , pre - installed , " punch and play " accelerator cleaning organisation . Value Maritime ’s first CO₂ Capture Module and CO₂ Battery will be installed on Visser Shipping ’s Nordica watercraft in October this twelvemonth , do the Nordica the first vessel to capture and store CO₂ on display panel a watercraft while in surgical process . The vessel will be operated by X - Press Feeders .
Value Maritime ’s system is ground on an modern and patented technology to remove CO₂ from the vessel exhaust system gas . The CO₂ is used to send Value Maritime ’s CO₂ Battery ; an onboard store facility that can charge and release CO₂ infinitely . The charge up CO₂ Battery will be offloaded in ports and transported to CO₂ customers ( e.g. , farming sector ) who " re - utilize " the CO₂. After CO₂ discharge , the CO₂ Battery return to the vas , to be recharged with CO₂ ; A 100 % circular solvent !
First onboard CO₂ capture and memory facility worldwideWith the installment of Value Maritime ’s CO₂ Capture Module and CO₂ Battery , Value Maritime is the first company worldwide to set up a seizure and storage facility on board of a vessel in operation . Class Bureau Vertitas is involved in the relevant approval of the system . Value Maritime will start loading and offload the CO₂ Batteries at the Rotterdam Short Sea Terminal to release the electric battery at greenhouses in Rotterdam Area , which re - use the CO2 to grow their crop . Value Maritime anticipate to expand to additional locations shortly , amongst others Bremerhaven and Hamburg , and will afterwards follow the node ’s petition to set up CO₂infrastructure in any port that clients desire .
The CO₂ capture and onboard storage capabilities developed by Value Maritime can be endless , and the system could capture up to 100 % of the vessel ’s CO₂ emission , enabling a vast impact on the vas ’s CO₂ footprint .
" instal the faculty will not only be beneficial for our node but ensures that the maritime manufacture can achieve its goals for 2050 in the unforesightful term , " said Christiaan Nijst , co - father of Value Maritime .
" We are slaked with the Filtree Systems already installed on our vessels . With the extra CO2 capture solution , we can further improve our vas ’s sustainable footprint from day one while ready us for succeeding environmental regularization , " said Douwe Visser , owner of Visser Shipping .
