The successful validation of Carbon Ridge>>>'s OCCS system by DNV>>> on a Scorpio Tankers>>> vessel could accelerate the adoption of carbon capture technologies in the maritime industry. This development is positive for companies like Scorpio Tankers>>> that are investing in decarbonization solutions, potentially leading to increased demand for such technologies and impacting the shipping sector's compliance costs and environmental footprint.
Global classification society DNV>>> has confirmed that Carbon Ridge>>>'s centrifugal onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS) system can achieve CO2 capture rates of up to 98%. This validation followed a five-month pilot program, which commenced in July 2025, on the LR2 product tanker STI Spiga>>>, owned by Scorpio Tankers>>>. The system was installed at Besiktas Shipyard in Turkey>>> and operated during regular commercial operations. DNV>>> reviewed and validated the methodologies, calculations, and reported performance metrics, corroborating the high capture rates. This marks the first maritime deployment of a centrifugal OCCS system, positioning Carbon Ridge>>> as a pioneer in bringing this technology to the shipping industry. Scorpio Tankers>>>' COO, Cameron Mackey>>>, and Carbon Ridge>>>'s CEO, Chase Dwyer>>>, both expressed satisfaction with the results, highlighting the system's potential to significantly reduce emissions and its ease of installation and operation.
