Value Maritime is set to install a compact CCS system on the Samskip Kvitbjorn, enhancing agricultural outputs by converting exhaust gases into crops. The CCS system, funded through the Maritime Efficient & Easy Carbon Capture (ME2CC) project, is designed to be scalable and modular, allowing it to capture emissions from vessels with engines between 3-20MW.
Installation is scheduled for next year, with the system expected to increase farm output by 35% through partnerships with local agriculture. The Samskip Kvitbjorn operates between Rotterdam and Hammerfest, enabling efficient discharge of captured carbon for use in a nearby tomato production facility. This innovation reduces reliance on external carbon sources and streamlines emissions management, potentially influencing broader adoption in the maritime industry.
