Carbon Ridge has achieved a shipping industry first with the successful deployment of a centrifugal onboard carbon capture system (OCCS) aboard an LR2 product tanker owned by Scorpio Tankers Inc., STI SPIGA.

Conducted in partnership with Scorpio Tankers Inc., a specialist in the seaborne transportation of refined petroleum products, the pilot aboard the vessel signals a significant milestone in the development and scaling of advanced OCCS solutions.

Carbon Ridge’s technology offers a modular design that reduces both initial capital investment and ongoing operational costs. Space requirements are reduced by up to 75 percent compared to conventional OCCS columns, while flexible installation options  (vertical or horizontal) can accommodate various vessels. Captured CO2 is compressed, liquefied and stored safely for the duration of the voyage.

Combining optimized onboard OCCS technology with an end-to-end logistics solution for captured CO2, Carbon Ridge offers a turnkey solution that ensures full value-chain compliance with maritime and regional regulations.

Designed for both retrofit and newbuild integration, the technology is future-proof and scalable, agnostic to fuel type, and offers shipowners flexibility within their fleet decarbonization strategies without requiring major propulsion system overhauls.

By integrating proven centrifugal technology into a compact, purpose-built system for the marine environment, Carbon Ridge is unlocking a scalable pathway for shipowners and charterers to meet increasingly stringent regulatory and climate targets.

Carbon Ridge has also completed an additional financing round, led by Katapult Ocean and Alfa8, with participation from Crosscut Ventures and Berge Bulk. This brings the company’s total funding to over $20 million.
