Carbon Clean and Samsung Engineering (SECL) have signed a Joint Development Agreement (JDA), to explore opportunities for Onboard Carbon Capture solutions (OCCS) projects.
The JDA will focus on optimising Carbon Clean’s modular carbon capture technology, CycloneCC, for use onboard ships. According to Carbon Clean, this equipment is ten times smaller than a conventional carbon capture unit and with 50% smaller footprint.
SECL and Carbon Clean signed the JDA at an official signing ceremony on October 3rd at the 2023 Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC).
The signing ceremony was attended by Hong Namkoong, President and CEO, Cheonhong Park, EVP Head of Sustainable Solution Business Division and Wonsik Cho, VP Sustainable Technology Business Team from Samsung Engineering and Aniruddha Sharma, Chair and CEO and Krishna Kumar Singhania, Chief Growth Officer from Carbon Clean.
Carbon Clean is focused on delivering technology for all hard-to-abate industries, including the maritime industry, and I am looking forward to delivering real solutions to the shipping industry with Samsung Engineering as our strategic partners
… said Aniruddha Sharma, Chair and CEO of Carbon Clean
Meanwhile, Hong Namkoong, President and CEO of Samsung Engineering stated that this strategic alliance will create viable solutions for major global clients by combining the excellence of both companies and create a sustainable path for the future in this era of energy transition.
To remind, it was also recently announced that Lloyd’s Register has awarded an Approval in Principle (AiP) for ERMA FIRST’s post combustion Carbon Capture & Storage System (CCS) which system absorbs CO2 from a vessel’s exhaust gas that is heated to capture CO2 and then liquefied and stored cryogenically onboard.
Additionally, DNV this week announced the release of new guidelines for the safe installation of onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS) system on board ships
