CO₂ Capture for Shipping and Beyond

""

Lower Emissions at Sea

Pumpcharger is developing onboard carbon capture for large vessels and tankers, with the goal of reducing CO₂ released into the atmosphere.

""

Engineering for Onboard Capture

Our concept replaces ordinary air with a controlled mixture without nitrogen, making CO₂ easier to separate and capture for onboard storage.

""

Ready for Tomorrow's Regulations

Pumpcharger helps operators prepare for stricter emissions requirements while supporting lower CO₂ emissions.

Carbon capture at sea

Our first project focuses on clean onboard carbon capture for shipping. The concept is being developed for large vessels and tankers, where CO₂ can be separated and stored directly onboard. The aim is simple: reduce the climate impact of shipping while addressing the financial cost of CO₂ emissions.

Onboard CO₂ Capture for Large Vessels

Pumpcharger develops technology for capturing and storing CO₂ onboard large vessels and tankers. The concept uses synthetic air without nitrogen during combustion to make CO₂ easier to separate and manage.

Oxyfuel Technology

Atmospheric air is replaced by a controlled mixture of oxygen, CO₂ and water vapor during combustion. The resulting exhaust consists primarily of CO₂ and water, simplifying the separation and capture of CO₂ by condensation (without chemical processing).

Cost-Efficient CO₂ Management

Pumpcharger’s approach aims to reduce the cost of managing CO₂ emissions, making onboard carbon capture more economically viable for shipping operators.

Marine Combustion Systems & Process Equipment

Pumpcharger develops technology and process equipment for large combustion engines, with applications in marine propulsion, industrial engines and power generation. Onboard CO₂ capture for shipping is the current main focus.

Simplifying CO₂ Capture. Reducing Emissions

Pumpcharger develops technology for large combustion engines, designed to simplify CO₂ capture while reducing emissions and the cost of CO₂ management.

Engineering Behind Pumpcharger

Pumpcharger AS develops systems and technology for large combustion engines in the 1–90 MW range, with applications in marine propulsion, industrial engines and power generation. The current focus is onboard CO₂ capture for large vessels and tankers.

The concept uses a controlled mixture of oxygen, CO₂ and water vapor during combustion to create an exhaust stream where CO₂ is easier to separate and capture.
The technology is being developed to reduce CO₂ emissions and lower the cost of carbon capture and management.
