Hi all,

I found this nice visual of a ship based carbon capture neutral cycle.

**Working principle**  
Cooling & cleaning | Exhaust gas is cooled and cleaned inside, reducing particulate matter and temperature (optional: SOx).

CO2 Scrubber | Exhaust gas is brought into contact with a solvent, dissolving up to 90% CO2 from the exhaust gas which leaves via the top of the funnel.

CO2 Stripper | The solvent is heated, releasing the CO2, after which the solvent is re-used in a closed loop system.

CO2 Tank | The CO2 is liquefied and stored in a tank. To do this, the CO2 is pressurized and cooled, using compressors and cooling units.
