Problem
Ocean-going vessels docking at ports produce significant emissions, including particulate matter and nitrogen oxides, contributing to air pollution and health concerns in nearby communities. Current solutions like shore power require substantial upfront investment and vessel retrofitting, creating barriers to widespread adoption.
Solution
STAX Engineering provides mobile emissions capture and control solutions for the maritime and data center industries, enabling compliance with environmental regulations without costly infrastructure upgrades. Their patented technology captures exhaust directly from vessels or data center generators, removing 99% of diesel particulate matter and 95% of nitrogen oxide. The system can be deployed via barge or land-based mobile units, offering flexibility for various vessel configurations and port layouts. By filtering pollutants before they are released, STAX helps terminal operators, fleet operators, and data centers reduce their environmental impact and meet stringent emissions standards. The technology offers a cost-effective alternative to shore power, eliminating the need for expensive vessel retrofits and long-term infrastructure investments.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes maritime terminal operators, fleet operators, and data center operators seeking cost-effective and flexible solutions for emissions reduction and regulatory compliance.
