ABS’ Qatar business development director Pantelis Skinitis says the technology has great potential to help the maritime industry avoid emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Carbon capture technology has recently attracted attention from shipping players. Last week, Italian technology company Ecospray launched three new carbon capture system for vessels.
