Stena study reveals LNG carriers more suitable than tankers for carbon capture

Studies by Stena Bulk show LNG carriers are more easily adaptable to carbon capture and storage (CCS) systems on board than tankers.

The Swedish company teamed up with the Oil & Gas Climate Initiative (OCGI) to test the potential of exhaust gas capture techniques on vessels from its fleet.

Data was used from an LNG carrier, a suezmax tanker and an MR product carrier to explore applicability, cost and emissions-reduction implications.
