CALCAREA Inc. and AURELIA Design B.V. have entered into a collaboration to bring ocean-based carbon capture technology to the maritime sector. The partnership combines CALCAREA’s unique carbon removal process with AURELIA’s expertise in green ship design and e-systems integration.
At the heart of the collaboration is CALCAREA’s limestone weathering technology — a system that accelerates a natural process where carbon dioxide (CO₂) reacts with limestone and seawater, transforming it into stable bicarbonates safely stored in the ocean. The approach offers a nature-based, permanent, and infrastructure-light solution to CO₂ capture and sequestration, ideal for maritime applications where seawater is readily available and continuously circulated.
Working together, the two companies will develop a next-generation bulk carrier, fully integrating the CALCAREA reactor and supporting systems into the vessel architecture. AURELIA will lead the naval architecture, system integration, and class compliance engineering, ensuring the technology can operate efficiently and safely in real ship conditions without effecting cargo capacity.
