PaxOcean to work with NTU on carbon capture technologies

PaxOcean, one of Kuok Singapore Limited’s (KSL) maritime group businesses, will be working with Nanyang Technological University Singapore (NTU) on a 30-month project to develop shipboard post-combustion carbon capture technologies.

 The project will be led by Professor Wang Xin, chair of the School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at NTU.

The project, called “Application of Carbon Capture Technology for the Reduction of GHG Emission from Ships”, has been awarded by the Singapore Maritime Institute (SMI), backed by funding from the National Research Foundation Singapore (NRF), under the Maritime Transformation Programme.
