News Summary

Alisha Fredriksson and Roujia Wen, founders of Seabound, a UK-based tech startup, have developed a carbon capture system for ocean-going ships. Their invention is designed to fit into standard shipping containers and can capture up to 80% of CO2 emissions from ship exhausts. The captured CO2 is converted into limestone, which can be used as a building material or further processed. Seabound’s technology aims to help the shipping industry meet its target of net-zero emissions by 2050. The startup’s efforts have been recognized with Fredriksson receiving the Nor-Shipping 2025 Young Entrepreneur Award. Their carbon capture system is already undergoing trials at the Port of Los Angeles, and they have partnered with STAX Engineering for further development. This innovation marks significant progress towards reducing the environmental impact of the maritime industry.
