Solvang Wartsila Seminar 020125

Launch of the world’s first ship with a full-scale onboard CCS

PHOTOS FROM THE EVENT

In January 2025, the world’s first ship with a full-scale carbon capture facility is ready for pilot testing. The ship is called «Clipper Eris» and is owned by Solvang ASA in Stavanger, the technology is developed by Wärtsilä in Moss, Norway. The project team will visit Singapore to officially set sail from the docks at Seatrium.

Don’t miss this opportunity to get key insights to the project and meet the team from Solvang and Wärtsilä. Please secure your spot by signing up today, as seating is limited. We look forward to welcoming you to this impactful event, and celebrate the launch of a Norwegian technology that could become a milestone for the world’s trading fleet.

Welcome!

Update 08/01: The event is now fully booked.

Edvin Endresen, CEO of Solvang ASA, shares “Carbon capture combined with existing cleaning technology is a significant shortcut to decarbonisation of the world’s deep-sea fleet, and stands out as one of the more promising solutions for the ships of the future. With support from Enova, it is possible to start the pilot project on board the ship and test both technology and the value chain.”

Key Topics & Highlights

Shipping accounts for up to 3% of the world’s total GHG (Greenhouse gases) emissions. It is a challenge for Norwegian shipping, as a major global player. At the same time, Norway is a leader in the development of several new technologies that can help solve the problem.
A current technology, which can have an immediate effect, is the capture of CO2 on board ships, so-called Onboard Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS).

Over the past few months, Clipper Eris has been in dry dock in Singapore for a full overhaul. Here, the ship has had new CCS technology installed, which makes it equipped for far stricter environmental requirements in the future.
This is also good news for the world’s 70,000 merchant ships, which today mostly run on fossil fuel. With CCS, the exhaust is cleaned and CO2 emissions are reduced by up to 70 per cent, before it is stored in deck tanks for discharge to sequestration or usage. Such facilities can be mounted on all types of merchant ships that are based on fossil fuels.

To present the project we have Sigurd Jenssen, Director of Wärtsilä Exhaust Treatment and Tor Øyvind Ask, Fleet director at Solvang ASA.
