    In a groundbreaking achievement for environmental technology, the world’s first ship-to-ship liquified carbon dioxide (LCO\u2082) transfer has been completed at Yangshan Deep-Water Port in Hangzhou Bay, Shanghai. This milestone, spearheaded by Shanghai Qiyao Environmental Technology (SMDERI-QET), marks a significant step forward in carbon capture and storage systems. For years, the shipping industry has faced challenges with carbon emissions, but this innovative project offers a promising solution. With support from the Shanghai Port Group Energy Co. and the Shanghai Port Group Logistics Co., the project sets a new benchmark in maritime carbon management.<\/p>\n

    Innovative Onboard Carbon Capture Technology<\/h2>\n

    The success of the ship-to-ship LCO\u2082 transfer can be attributed to the Onboard Carbon Capture and Storage System (OCCS) developed by SMDERI-QET. This state-of-the-art system has demonstrated a remarkable carbon dioxide capture rate of over 80%, with a liquid carbon dioxide purity of 99.9%. Such high efficiency not only underscores the system’s capability but also highlights its potential to transform the shipping industry’s approach to carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

    Since its first full-process implementation in early 2024, the OCCS has enabled multiple end-to-end LCO\u2082 offloading projects. This progression has allowed ship owners participating in the initiative to achieve higher Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) ratings, a first for OCCS technology. These enhancements in operational and environmental performance reflect the expertise and leadership of SMDERI-QET in the field of carbon capture.<\/p>\n
