Technology provider Wartsila expects to have an onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS) system ready to market by 2025.

Sigurd Jenssen, director at Wartsila Exhaust Treatment, told TradeWinds the company has been trialling a solvent-based OCCS system on land for around 20 months.

Asked by TradeWinds when OCCS will be ready for ships, Jenssen said: “In 2025 we will be ready to go to market with a product.”
