New Ship Carbon Capture Technology Boosts Efficiency by 40%
Affiliate Disclosure
Hey fellow impactful ninja ?
You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.
Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.
But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.
Why do we add these product links?
First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.
And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What do these affiliate links mean for you?
First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.
And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.
What do these affiliate links mean for us?
When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).
And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.
What does this mean for me personally?
You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.
Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

📰 The quick summary: New marine carbon capture technology using pressure swing adsorption aims to reduce emissions from ships 40% more efficiently than traditional systems.
📈 One key stat: The new pressure swing adsorption technology for carbon capture is expected to be 40% more energy-efficient than traditional marine CO2 absorption systems, enabling significant emissions reductions for ships.
💬 One key quote: “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.”
1️⃣ The big picture: A major new collaboration has launched to develop advanced carbon capture technology for ships. Classification society DNV has partnered with HD Korea Shipbuilding and Offshore Engineering and HD Hydrogen to create an innovative system using pressure swing adsorption technology. This system will be integrated with solid oxide fuel cells that can run on various fuels including natural gas, ammonia, and hydrogen. The technology aims to help shipping companies meet increasingly strict emissions regulations while being significantly more energy efficient than existing solutions.
2️⃣ Why is this good news: Making carbon capture more energy efficient helps overcome one of the biggest barriers to widespread adoption in the maritime industry. The 40% improvement in efficiency compared to traditional systems means ships can operate more sustainably without sacrificing too much power for emissions reduction. The fuel flexibility of the solid oxide fuel cells provides multiple pathways for decarbonization as different clean fuels become available. This technology can help dramatically reduce emissions from the global shipping fleet, which is crucial for meeting climate goals.
3️⃣ What’s next: The joint industry project will focus on developing and validating the pressure swing adsorption technology specifically for marine applications with solid oxide fuel cells. The team will need to ensure the system can operate reliably in maritime conditions while delivering the expected efficiency gains. Once validated, the technology can move toward commercial deployment, helping shipping companies meet emissions regulations and sustainability targets.
