The drive towards emission-reducing technologies in the offshore emission-reducing technologies in the offshore industry continues to gain momentum. In this vein, MODEC Inc. and Carbon Clean Solutions Ltd. have signed a memorandum of understanding to accelerate the development of offshore carbon capture technologies in floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) units.
A firm step towards maritime decarbonization
Both companies seek to integrate Carbon Clean’s OCCS post-combustion technology, based on its CycloneCCS system. CycloneCCsystem, into the technical design established by MODEC for their floating platforms. This collaboration builds on the progress made with a previous pilot plant and aims to set a new standard in offshore carbon capture.
The central objective is to adapt Carbon Clean’s rotating packed bed (RPB) system to the typical emissions profile of an FPSO, opening the possibility of offering this solution as a default option in future projects.
Aligned with global emissions targets
The initiative comes against a backdrop of increasingly stringent environmental regulations. The standards promoted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) require the shipping industry to significantly reduce its emissions. In this context, the technology developed by Carbon Clean represents a concrete tool to meet these requirements.
MODEC, which has been supplying solutions for the offshore sector for more than five decades, reinforces its commitment to sustainability with this agreement.
We must continue to contribute to society with humility and diligence.
Koichi Matsumiya, the company’s technical director, noted.
Modular and scalable technology
The CycloneCC system stands out for its compact and modular design, essential features for operations in marine environments. With more than 50 global deployments, Carbon Clean’s experience in industrial carbon capture carbon capture underpins the project’s viability.
Aniruddha Sharma, CEO of Carbon Clean, highlighted MODEC’s leadership and the importance of this collaboration as a reference for other maritime initiatives. According to Sharma, the partnership will prepare the FPSOs of the future to meet the energy challenges of the next decade.
Innovation for a cleaner energy supply
For MODEC, integrating emission mitigation technologies represents a competitive advantage in a market that demands cleaner energy and technologies with less environmental impact. The inclusion of carbon sequestration in FPSO reinforces its role as a key tool in the development of offshore fields. offshore fields with a lower carbon footprint.
This alliance marks a new chapter in the evolution of offshore platforms and sets the stage for a new generation of sustainable offshore energy projects.
