Norway-based classification society DNV has entered into a joint development project (JDP) with German-owned shipping group AL Group and its Singapore company Asiatic Lloyd Maritime to explore the feasibility of carbon capture and storage (CCS) on board AL’s 7,100 TEU containership and Kamsarmax bulk carrier newbuildings.

Under the JDP, DNV will cooperate with AL on a techno-economic study of CCS on board the vessels using DNV’s FuelPath model to assess the economic potential of the different fuel and technology strategies.
