The growing global awareness of climate change, combined with the ongoing increase of greenhouse gas emissions, emphasizes the need for mitigation action across all sectors of the economy. Over the past several decades, maritime transport has emerged as one of the major enablers of global trade, with a substantial contribution to atmospheric emissions. This situation, along with stricter international environmental regulations and efforts to decarbonize globally, has led to increased interest in innovative technological solutions that can reduce ship emissions without sacrificing operational efficiency. Among these solutions, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies proved to be a promising approach to limit carbon dioxide emissions at source.
The present Master’s thesis, entitled “Carbon Capture and Storage Onboard”, aims to provide information on the characteristics, operation, and applicability of CCS Technologies within the maritime sector, with a focus on onboard carbon capture and storage systems. The study analyzes the wider CCS framework, including climate change drivers, international environmental policies, and shipping emissions within global decarbonization strategies. Additionally, it examines the CCS process cycle and compares onshore, offshore, and onboard applications while exploring key technologies for onboard CO₂ capture and storage methods.
The main objective of this research is to examine the effectiveness, advantages, and challenges of onboard CCS systems via literature review and case study analysis, and to identify the key technical, operational, safety, and economic challenges associated with their large-scale implementation in the maritime industry.
