Heatmaster Partners in Groundbreaking ME2CC Project to Drive Maritime Decarbonization with Modular Carbon Capture System for LNG fueled vessel Samskip Kvitbjorn

January 10, 2025 – Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Heatmaster is proud to announce its participation in the Maritime Efficient & Easy Carbon Capture (ME2CC) project, which has received funding from the Maritime Masterplan 2024. This funding will contribute to the development, construction, and demonstration of an innovative, compact modular carbon capture system. The system will be installed aboard the LNG fueled vessel Samskip Kvitbjorn, marking a significant milestone in the maritime industry's efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

The Samskip Kvitbjorn, which operates a fixed route from Rotterdam along the Norwegian west coast to Hammerfest, plays a pivotal role in Samskip’s sustainable logistics initiative in one of Europe’s most environmentally sensitive regions. The retrofitting of the vessel with the Value Maritime CO2 capture system will enable the vessel to meet stringent low-emission standards set by the EU and Norwegian authorities, showcasing a forward-thinking approach to environmentally conscious shipping.

Heatmaster’s Role in the ME2CC Project
As part of the ME2CC consortium, Heatmaster brings its expertise in marine heating and heat recovery systems to the development of this cutting-edge carbon capture solution. The modular design of the system is optimized for integration with a variety of vessel types, including RoRo vessels like the Samskip Kvitbjorn. By providing reliable and efficient waste heat recovery systems that complement the carbon capture system's operations, Heatmaster is contributing to ensuring seamless integration and enhanced operational efficiency during the CO2 capture and regeneration processes.

Key Features of the ME2CC scope for Heatmaster:

  • Compact & Scalable Design: The system is taking the waste heat from the main engine exhaust gas using advanced design of exhaust gas cooler.
  • Energy Efficiency: The use of hot exhaust gas for onboard electricity generation improves system efficiency and contributes to emission reduction goals, reducing fuel consumption and operational costs.

“This project marks a pivotal moment in advancing maritime decarbonization,” said Pieter Borg, CCO of Heatmaster. “We are excited to be part of a consortium that is developing solutions to drastically reduce emissions in the maritime sector. Our waste heat recovery systems will support the efficiency of this groundbreaking carbon capture technology, contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable future for the shipping industry.”

Consortium Partners
The ME2CC consortium, headed by Value Maritime, consists of Samskip Holding, B2B Marine, Fusie Engineers, Devoteq, Brusche Process Technology, Yard Energy Group and Heatmaster.
