Shipping accounts for 3% of global carbon emissions annually, prompting ambitious regulations from bodies like the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO), which aims for a 20% carbon emissions cut by 2030. This joint solution offers a vital tool for the maritime industry, requiring no costly retrofits or structural changes to existing vessels or port infrastructure.
“Today marks a landmark moment in our journey toward a zero-emissions future,” stated Mike Walker, CEO of STAX Engineering. “Our partnership with Seabound has been instrumental as we expand our carbon capture capabilities.”
The integrated system first uses STAX’s mobile unit to remove 99% of PM and 95% of NOx. The purified gas then flows into Seabound’s compact capture unit, which isolates and stores up to 95% of carbon and 90% of sulfur before releasing the cleaned exhaust. “Our partnership demonstrates that effective, scalable emissions solutions are a reality we can implement now,” added Alisha Fredriksson, co-founder and CEO of Seabound.
Both companies are exploring international expansion. Read more on Seabound’s website.
