DNV, a leading international classification society, has partnered with HD Korea Shipbuilding and Offshore Engineering (HD KSOE) and HD Hydrogen to advance cutting-edge carbon capture technology for marine applications.
The collaboration, part of a Joint Industry Project (JIP), will focus on the development and validation of Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology for carbon capture within Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC).
These high-efficiency fuel cells are versatile, capable of running on a range of fuels including natural gas, ammonia, and hydrogen.
Seunghwan Oh, Vice President of Business Development and Strategy at HD Hydrogen, said: “PSA technology is a key enabler in the era of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS). Integrating this technology with SOFCs, one of the most efficient power generation systems available, can substantially contribute to maritime decarbonization.”
The project aims to achieve substantial reductions in carbon emissions using PSA technology, which is expected to be 40% more energy-efficient than traditional marine CO2 absorption systems.
This collaboration represents a key step toward developing effective carbon reduction strategies for the maritime industry, addressing the growing need for solutions to meet increasingly strict emissions regulations set by governments around the world.
