Problem
Shipowners face increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions due to stricter global regulations, customer demands, and shareholder expectations, yet viable decarbonization options are limited. Alternative fuels are still years away from widespread adoption, efficiency improvements alone are insufficient, and reducing vessel speed only postpones the problem.
Solution
Seabound offers a retrofittable onboard carbon capture system for ships that converts CO₂ emissions into stable, solid carbonate pebbles. This system enables shipowners to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, ranging from 25% to 95%, providing a near-term solution to meet decarbonization targets. The captured CO₂ is converted into carbonate, which can be easily offloaded at ports, stored, recycled, or used in fuel production. The system's design allows for fast installation and integration into existing vessel operations, providing a practical and immediate approach to reducing a fleet's carbon footprint.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes shipowners and operators seeking immediate and effective solutions to reduce their carbon emissions and comply with evolving environmental regulations.
