DNV has teamed up with HD Korea Shipbuilding and HD Hydrogen in a Joint Industry Project (JIP) to advance carbon capture technology tailored for marine applications. The project aims to develop and validate Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology within Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC). These fuel cells boast high efficiency and versatility in fuel usage, accommodating natural gas, ammonia, and hydrogen. According to Seunghwan Oh of HD Hydrogen, PSA technology plays a pivotal role in the Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage era. The collaboration strives for substantial emissions reductions through PSA, offering a projected 40% increase in energy efficiency compared to standard marine CO2 absorption systems. Vidar Dolonen, DNV's Regional Manager for Korea & Japan, underscores the strategic significance of the project in addressing the complexities of decarbonizing the shipping sector. This partnership signifies a critical advancement in formulating practical carbon reduction strategies for the maritime industry, aligning with global efforts to meet tightening emissions standards.
