CCS (carbon capture and storage) can be used to fuel ships<\/h2>\n

International shipping has long been the backbone of international travel and trade. Today, it is also a major contributor to climate change. However, there aren\u2019t many viable alternatives to fuelling the huge container ships that constantly travel the seas. So, what if a ship could capture and store the carbon dioxide it emits before it enters the atmosphere? <\/span><\/p>\n

We call this carbon capture and storage<\/a> (CCS) technology. Although it is not easy or cheap to do this as of yet, some companies are actively investing in it. In 2020, the Japanese company Mitsubishi Shipbuilding started developing a CCS system to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 90 percent. It even mooted the idea of using the stored carbon as fuel.<\/span>4<\/sup><\/a><\/span> Norway is the world\u2019s fifth-largest ship-owning country. It is also exploring CCS technology to reduce carbon emissions for its trade fleet.<\/span>5<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Shipping emissions are now being taken into consideration for the UK’s carbon budget<\/h2>\n

In 2008, the UK became the first country in the world to adopt a carbon budget through the Climate Change Act. The carbon budget set the country a limit for carbon emissions over a period of time and a target for cutting them by a certain date. <\/span><\/p>\n

In 2021, for the first time, the UK government also incorporated its share of international aviation and shipping emissions on recommendation of<\/a> the Climate Change Committee (CCC). The CCC was established in 2008 along with the Climate Change Act.<\/span>6<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CCS (carbon capture and storage) for ships is being tested in China<\/h2>\n

China has a mammoth task ahead to reach its pledge of net-zero carbon emissions by 2060. The country wants 90 percent of vehicles to run on non-fossil fuels and half of all aircrafts to use green hydrogen. Also, it is building ships that capture and store their carbon emissions<\/a> before being emitted. But, the technology is still in its early stages. China is also exploring the option of using green hydrogen fuels to power its trade ships.<\/span>7<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
