Scrubber Technology Group Looks at Utilising Carbon Capture
One More Way the Shipping Industry Looks to Clean Up
FINLAND – WORLDWIDE – Two of the most contentious subjects as regards the reduction or elimination of harmful emissions produced by the world's ocean going shipping fleet are scrubbers and carbon capture. Nevertheless the technologies exist and are seen by many as suitable routes to assist in the environmental fight.
As one of the main marine exhaust gas cleaning system manufacturers, Wärtsilä Exhaust Treatment is naturally keen to promote and update scrubbing technology and to capture carbon at the point of exhaust. The company has conducted extensive research and development to explore how Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) can be developed and scaled in the maritime arena.
