We are excited to announce that a key milestone of the project, the land-based testing campaign, has been reached! Testing was conducted in Cyprus, where several technologies were evaluated under realistic marine engine conditions. These tests are an essential step towards validating the technologies before potential onboard demonstrations. During the testing campaign, multiple systems were evaluated, including:
Membrane-based carbon capture technologies, which were tested to evaluate their capability to capture CO₂ from marine exhaust gases.
The Carbon Capture Machine (CCM), which converts captured CO₂ into mineralised products, demonstrating an alternative pathway for carbon capture and utilisation.
Thermo-Electric Element (TEE) technology, which converts waste heat from engine exhaust into electricity, demonstrating the potential to recover energy that would otherwise be lost during vessel operation.
SepaRaptor particle treatment technology, designed to improve the efficiency and durability of membrane-based carbon capture systems by removing fine particles from flue gas streams.
