The integrated CO_2 module can capture 90% of the CO_2 in the vessels' exhaust, but the percentage of CO_2 the owner/ charterer wishes to capture is their choice. The captured CO_2 is chemically bound to a carrier material and is stored at ambient pressure and temperature in patented CO_2 batteries the size of 20-foot shipping containers. Once the vessel is docked, the full CO_2 batteries are replaced with empty ones for the next voyage."The battery can be offloaded and re-used to facilitate the growth of flowers and other crops or used to enrich future fuels such as methanol for dual-fuelled vessels. Especially in combination with the production of methanol, we see that our Filtree contributes to the circular use of CO_2 and therefore reduces emissions drastically," says Christiaan Nijst, Director & Co-Founder at Netherlands-based Value Maritime.
