Solvang towards the future: Our 2030 – 2050 scenarios

By 2030, Solvang will be fully compliant with AER for all vessels, while the GFI target level will depend on the availability of CCS and biofuel. In 2050, net-zero GHG has moved from vision to reality in Solvang’s cargo operations – which will play a vital role for our clients worldwide.

From concept to reality

Building a shipboard CCS plant has been a long and exciting voyage – from a ”non-possible” starting point to a future-proof running installation.

Fleet down 22 percent on emissions – up 21 percent on capacity

Since 2009, Solvang’s gas carrier tonnage has grown by 15 percent in terms of DWT, and by 21.4 percent in cargo capacity. In the same period, GHG emissions have been reduced by 21.5 percent, all due to exhaust gas recirculation and cleaning, hull, propeller and drivetrain optimization, and continuous operational improvements.

The Carbon Intensity Indicator: Emissions during port idling should be excluded

Reallocating CO2 emission allowances from ships to ports when keeping cargo idle due to handling issues, would help correct the Carbon Intensity Indicator and would make the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEMP III) a better tool for crew, shipowners and climate authorities, according to Solvang HSEQ Manager Per-Øyvind Nedrebø.

Energy sources vs. climate: How to approach fuels

A fuel’s environmental footprint can only be understood if you include the whole life-cycle of production and use of the energy source.

Rules and regulations outlook

Solvang expects that consolidation of data collection and compliance rules will make every vessel a target for IMO emission reduction from 2024.

The well-to-wake reality of climate emissions

The Great Energy Transition: The global community is taking on an increasingly holistic view of fuels and emission cuts.

The green future of conventional Fuels

After 12 years of experimentation, research and development, Solvang and partners present a game changing technology: The shipboard carbon capture system.

Deep sea shipping at the crossroads

After solving emissions of sulfur and nitrous oxides, shipping still needs to cut CO2 more than existing methods and fuels allow for. The time has arrived for a radical solution.
