March 04, 2026 [Storage Terminals Magazine]- Exolum participated in the Maritime Transport Decarbonisation Conference to discuss CO₂ capture and the logistical infrastructure needed to support onboard carbon capture for existing vessels.

At the conference, organised by the Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros Navales y Oceánicos and the Asociación de Ingenieros Navales y Oceánicos de España, María José Bartolomé Vidal, project developer coordinator circular economy at Exolum, highlighted a key element to make onboard CO₂ capture viable for existing vessels: the management of CO₂ once it has been captured.

Exolum is developing logistics hubs at port terminals to aggregate emissions from multiple sources and facilitate their transport for storage or use. These infrastructures will enable vessels to safely and efficiently offload captured CO₂ and connect the capture process with the rest of the value chain.

Exolum noted that coordinated progress in standards, regulation, and infrastructure will allow this solution to scale and accelerate the decarbonisation of maritime transport an area in which the company is already taking firm steps.
