We are very proud to be the first Japanese operator to commercially install CO2 Capture System onboard! MOL's LR1 product tanker Nexus Victoria (75,000 DWT class) will equip with the "Filtree System," an onboard CO2 capture system with a SOx scrubber manufactured by Value Maritime, a Dutch emission reducing technology company. The system is slated for installation around the end of 2024.

The Filtree System has a scrubber function that removes 99% of SOx and PM contained in exhaust gases and a CCS function that separates and recovers up to 10% of CO2 from the exhaust emissions. CO2 in the exhaust gases generated onboard the vessel is adsorbed and captured by reacting with a special chemical substance. The chemical will be discharged ashore, and the heat-separated CO2 can be supplied to greenhouses, synthetic fuel companies and other end users before being put to good use.
