Seabound has designed a carbon capture system that turns CO2 emitted from engines into limestone, which is utilized in cement production. This innovation is presently installed aboard the UBC Cork, which transports limestone for use in cement at Heidelberg Materials' plant. Both shipping and cement are significant contributors to global carbon emissions, presenting tough challenges for reduction. The International Maritime Organization stipulates that maritime owners must lower greenhouse gas emissions significantly by 2040. Seabound's technology aims to enhance existing internal combustion engines, while other companies explore different approaches for zero-emission power.
Seabound has developed a carbon capture system that transforms CO2 from the engine into limestone, a key ingredient in cement.
The emissions from maritime shipping and cement industries are challenging to address, as each represents about 3% and 8% of global carbon emissions.
The International Maritime Organization will require owners to trim greenhouse gas emissions from their fleets by 30% over the next decade, increasing to 65% by 2040.
Seabound’s technology offers a retrofit that retains existing internal combustion engines while enhancing their environmental impact through carbon capture.
