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\u2019s unique carbon removal process with AURELIA\u2019s expertise in green ship design and e-systems integration.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the collaboration is CALCAREA\u2019s limestone weathering technology \u2014 a system that accelerates a natural process where carbon dioxide (CO\u2082) 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 CO\u2082 capture and sequestration, ideal for maritime applications where seawater is readily available and continuously circulated.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The study includes analysis of seawater flow dynamics, intake and discharge configurations, and hull shape, to maintain performance while minimizing fuel impact. The design will serve as the foundation for a scalable and class-ready newbuild platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see shipping as one of the most natural environments for large-scale carbon removal,\u201d said Pierre Forin, Co-founder and CTO of CALCAREA. \u201cShips operate surrounded by seawater \u2014 the very medium our process uses. Partnering with AURELIA allows us to bridge science and engineering, and turn our technology into a deployable maritime system.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat makes this collaboration exciting is that it\u2019s not just another retrofit \u2014 it\u2019s a new generation of clean ship design built around a truly regenerative technology,\u201d said Raffaele Frontera, Founder and CEO of AURELIA. \u201cCALCAREA brings a breakthrough CO\u2082 capture process, and AURELIA brings the design and system expertise to make it practical, class-compliant, and ready for industry adoption.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Phase 0 Feasibility and Concept Study is now underway and will be followed by further engineering and validation phases as the technology advances toward Approval in Principle (AiP) and demonstration.<\/p>\n
