In a statement released on Monday (12
th April), TECO 2030 said is excited over the response inquired regarding CCS technology for ships.
TECO 2030 also highlighted that increased focus from shipowners on the International Maritime Organisation greenhouse gas strategies and such as like Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index and Carbon Intensity Indicator makes on-board carbon capture highly interesting.
As part of the feasibility study, CCS technology will be integrated as part of the TECO 2030 Future Funnel and will be a central add-on technology optimising decarbonisation and ensuring efficient vessel operation.
“The carbon capture and storage is very attractive for shipowners who seek to future proof their vessels to meet greenhouse gas regulations and strategies,” said Stian Aakre, CEO of TECO 2030.

Congress Set to Discuss Maritime Decarbonization Tuesday, April 13, 2021
Lawmakers have scheduled their first oversight hearing on the issue of decarbonization in the maritime industry. The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee’s Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Transportation is slated to meet on Thursday, 15 April, in a hearing titled Practical Steps Toward a Carbon-Free Maritime Industry: Updates on Fuels, Ports, and Technology.
The hearing is one of the first congressional actions that narrowly focuses on the maritime industry, which is projected to be a busy 117th Congress for climate, sustainability, and decarbonization activity. President Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg have both cited climate issues among their top priorities and have called for a zero-carbon economy by 2050. Legislation has been introduced in this Congress that attempts to forge a greener maritime industry (see Title IV of CLEAN Future Act). For more in-dep
