World’s First Ship With Full Carbon Capture & Storage System Ready For Pilot Testing

Clipper Eris, the ethylene carrier owned by Solvang, is ready for pilot testing, becoming the world’s first ship fitted with a full-scale carbon capture and storage system.

The pilot project is being undertaken as a joint effort between Solvang, MAN Energy Solutions, Wartsila and research institute SINTEF.

Besides this ship, Solvang has 7 more vessels being constructed. They are almost ready to be equipped with the same carbon capture facility that can decrease carbon dioxide emissions by up to 70% before it is stored in deck tanks for discharge to sequestration or use.
