2025 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Advances in Environmental Chemical Engineering for Sustainable Maritime Activities: Fuels, Emissions Control, and Innovative Technologies

This session explores cutting-edge advancements in environmental chemical engineering to support the decarbonization and sustainability of maritime activities. Topics include the development of sustainable maritime fuels (SMF), catalysts for methane slip oxidation, and innovations in emissions control technologies such as scrubbers and onboard carbon capture systems. Discussions will also cover emerging strategies for direct ocean carbon capture, enabling the maritime industry to contribute to negative emissions. Attendees will gain insights into the latest research, engineering solutions, and scalable technologies driving progress toward reducing the environmental impact of shipping and maritime operations.
