Headway's ocean Guardian® is a ship carbon capture and storage system recognised with our AiP certificate

Carbon capture and storage technology is the most economical and feasible method for the shipping industry to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and global warming on a large scale. This technology can capture and store greenhouse gases (GHG), such as carbon dioxide generated by the operation of ship engines on board, allowing the shipping industry to achieve the goal of "double carbon" as scheduled.

Recently, RINA recognised Headway Technology Group (Qingdao) Co., Ltd. with the Approval in Principle (AIP) certificate for its independently developed marine Guardian®, which is a ship carbon capture and storage system (CCSU).

This system has many advantages such as:

  • high decarbonisation efficiency
  • small size
  • low energy consumption
  • convenient storage and transportation
  • it can provide energy-saving and efficient solutions for carbon reduction of ships.

Headway's ocean Guardian® ship carbon capture and storage system is based on the EEXI and CII rules issued by IMO in 2021. It can independently calculate and adjust the amount of carbon dioxide collected to meet the limit values of EEXI and CII in the new IMO rules. In addition, the CCSU adopts high gravity technology, which can greatly accelerate the greenhouse gas capture process, greatly reduce the volume of CCSU, and make installation and transportation more convenient.

We carried out several research activities in the filed of carbon capture and storage and cooperated with lots of enterprises and institutions to develop decarbonisation projects. Therefore, we can provide our customers with technical and regulatory support.
