Giant black pipes inserted into the funnels of ships to contain emissions will be seen in Europe for the first time, following UK government funding to get California-based STAX Engineering\u2019s carbon capture kit to British ports.\u00a0<\/p>\n
STAX Engineering is working with UK-based onboard carbon capture specialist Seabound, Associated British Ports (ABP), and Lomar Shipping to tackle emissions from berthed vessels.<\/p>\n
The solution, according to STAX, provides a practical, cost-effective alternative to shore power installations, which require significant upfront capital, aren\u2019t viable for all vessel types, and remain largely unbuilt\u2014with major European ports having installed or commissioned only 20% of what is required by EU regulations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis project validates what we\u2019ve known for years\u2014ports need emissions solutions that work today without the infrastructure disruptions caused by solutions like shore power,\u201d said Mike Walker, CEO of STAX Engineering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
STAX and Seabound offer a fully integrated emissions solution, first showcased at the port of Long Beach in April, that is immediate, requiring no retrofits or expensive overhauls. STAX\u2019s mobile barge claims to capture up to 99% of particulate matter and 95% of nitrogen oxides (NOx), while Seabound\u2019s unit isolates and stores up to 95% of carbon dioxide and 90% of suphur emissions. The system will debut at ABP\u2019s Southampton port with vessels from UK-based Lomar Shipping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Giant black pipes inserted into the funnels of ships to contain emissions will be seen in Europe for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":358857,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[2000,299,5187,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-358856","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-eu","9":"tag-europe","10":"tag-european","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115059932762763202","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358856","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=358856"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358856\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/358857"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=358856"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=358856"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=358856"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
