DNV has verified the performance of Carbon Ridge's centrifugal onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS) system following a five month pilot on a Scorpio Tankers vessel. The system demonstrated peak CO2 capture rates exceeding 98 percent during normal commercial operations. This trial represents the first maritime deployment of centrifugal OCCS technology. The verification provides a data backed foundation for shipowners looking to reduce emissions and meet evolving environmental regulations through modular hardware installations.

DNV verified a centrifugal carbon capture system on a tanker. Peak capture hit 98 percent, though most readings were between 86 and 98 percent. Interesting to see modular hardware actually getting tested in commercial service.

The capture rate is high, but they are missing the energy penalty. How much extra fuel does the ship burn to run the centrifugal system? If the parasitic load is too high, the net carbon reduction drops significantly.

Also wondering about the storage and offloading. Capturing the CO2 is one thing, but finding the port infrastructure to take that captured carbon is where the real bottleneck is for shipping retrofits.

Verification is the key here. Without a standard like DNV's Recommended Practice, these claims are just marketing. This makes it much easier to tie the tech to actual carbon credits or regulatory compliance.
