ecoCPTR® integrates Aqualung’s facilitated transport membrane CO2 capture technology with itBabcock's ecoCO2® system, delivering a low-pressure, modular solution designed for installation on both newbuilds and retrofitted vessels.
Neale Campbell, Managing Director of the LGE business, said, “The award of this AiP marks the next step in the ecoCPTR® journey, and follows closely on from our recent investment in Aqualung’s funding round."
“We understand the integration challenges posed by emerging technologies across different vessel types. That’s why combining facilitated transport membranes with our ecoCO2® system offers a robust and cost-effective carbon capture solution to help operators decarbonise their fleets.”
The LGE business delivers environmentally focussed and engineering-led cargo handling and fuel gas solutions to shipyards and ship-owners in the commercial marine industry.
Jose Navarro, LR’s Global Gas Technology Director, said, “Lloyd’s Register is pleased to award Approval in Principle to Babcock’s ecoCPTR® system, recognising its potential to simplify onboard carbon capture through the integration of membrane capture and CO2 liquefaction technologies. This development underlines the importance of innovation in supporting shipowners with practical solutions to cut GHG emissions and to meet IMO net zero requirements.”
