Our LGE business , a global leader in liquefied gas solutions, has been awarded Approval in Principle (AiP) by Lloyd’s Register (LR) for its pioneering onboard carbon capture technology, ecoCPTR®.
The announcement was made during Gastech 2025 in Milan and marks a significant milestone in our expanding portfolio of marine decarbonisation innovations.
ecoCPTR® integrates Aqualung’s facilitated transport membrane CO₂ capture technology with our proven ecoCO2® system, delivering a low-pressure, modular solution designed for seamless installation on both newbuilds and retrofitted vessels. Its compact architecture offers substantial operational and environmental advantages, supporting the industry’s transition to cleaner maritime operations.
Neale Campbell, Managing Director of our LGE business, said: “The award of this AiP marks the next step in the ecoCPTR® journey, and follows closely on from our recent investment in Aqualung’s funding round.
“We understand the integration challenges posed by emerging technologies across different vessel types. That’s why combining facilitated transport membranes with our ecoCO2® system offers a robust and cost-effective carbon capture solution to help operators decarbonise their fleets.”
Our LGE business continues to lead the way in practical, innovative systems that address the evolving demands of sustainable shipping.
Jose Navarro, LR’s Global Gas Technology Director, said: “Lloyd’s Register is pleased to award Approval in Principle to Babcock’s ecoCPTR® system, recognising its potential to simplify onboard carbon capture through the integration of membrane capture and CO₂ liquefaction technologies. This development underlines the importance of innovation in supporting shipowners with practical solutions to cut GHG emissions and to meet IMO net zero requirements.”
