HMM to trial Korean onboard CCS in H2 2023

The feasibility study has revealed that Panasia’s OCCS solution can be installed without significant modifications to the vessel’s existing equipment, and without affecting the vessel’s stability. 

HMM announced that following the installation of an OCCS to its containership, it will conduct an operational test, with project partners Panasia and Samsung Heavy Industries providing engineering support.

The Panasia CCUS system was awarded an Approval in Principle (AiP) from Korea Register (KR) in 2022. Unlike other onboard CCS developers, Panasia has developed a proprietary absorbent rather than relying on MEA, although the technology itself relies on commercially established absorption technology.
