Type approval awarded for onboard CO2 measurement system

The certificate, which was awarded based on the International Maritime Organization’s NOx Technical Code and Guidelines from KR, is the first of its kind to be awarded to a manufacturer.

CARBON LENS continuously analyses and records the flow of emitted CO2 from each stack of a vessel, taking into account its temperature and exhaust pressure. This data is then live-streamed from the vessel to designated recipients ashore.

Being able to accurately measure and report CO2 emission levels from vessels will be increasingly important to ship owners, managers and charterers, as they will be required to provide detailed emission reports to regulators. Accurate data will also help the relevant parties to better estimate their carbon offset requirements when executing carbon trading strategies.
