Established in 2008 and being in strategic cooperation with the School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), DNV Research & Innovation Greece works to provide solutions to enable Greek shipowners’ access to innovative green technologies and quality decision support tools In 2009, DNV partnered with Process Systems Enterprise Ltd, one of the world's foremost providers of process modeling technology, to initiate the Maritime CCS (Carbon Capture & Storage) project. The project has received support and funding from the EU, the UK’s Technology Strategy Board and the Norwegian Research Council under the Eureka-Eurostars’ instrument, established to encourage international collaborative research and development projects.
According to Nikolaos Kakalis, Head of DNV Research & Innovation Greece, the Maritime CCS project develops an onboard process for chemical capture and temporary storage of CO2 emissions for ships in transit until discharge into transmission and storage infrastructures at the next suitable port.
“Carbon capture at sea is a completely new concept, with no current end-to-end solution available” he says. “Our challenge is to manage issues relating to the unique marine environment, limited space onboard, constant movement, energy efficiency, and strict safety and environmental requirements. The solution must not only manage these issues, but should be relatively easy to install, operate and maintain”.
