A group of Norwegian companies have launched a project to develop a system that captures carbon dioxide point-source emissions onboard liquefied natural gas-powered cruise ships.
The LNGameChanger project is led by maritime technology company HAV Group and includes coastal cruise operator Havila Voyages, LNG supplier Molgas Norway, and research institute SINTEF.
The consortium is aiming to design a low- or zero-emission power system using solid oxide fuel cells that run on LNG to generate electricity onboard. As the LNG is converted into energy, CO2 is produced, which the system will capture, liquefy and store onboard instead of releasing it into the atmosphere.
