ClassNK Releases Onboard Carbon Capture Handbook
The handbook covers technical, regulatory and infrastructure requirements for implementing onboard carbon capture systems.
ClassNK has released a handbook to help shipowners and operators assess the implementation of onboard carbon capture systems (OCCS).
The Onboard Carbon Capture Systems Implementation Framework covers the process from capturing CO2 onboard ships to its unloading, transportation, storage and final treatment, it said in an emailed update on Friday.
It also addresses monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of emissions reductions, alongside chain-of-custody (CoC) systems for tracking captured CO2 and its associated attributes.
ClassNK said the use of OCCS requires more than installing capture equipment, with suitable infrastructure and mechanisms to verify emissions reductions also needed.
