SHANGHAI, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A proposal led by _Shanghai Qiyao Technology
Group Co., Ltd._ to treat onboard carbon mineralisation as permanent storage has
received in-principle support from the International Maritime Organization (_IMO_),
allowing captured CO_(2 )to be turned into stable minerals for construction materials.

The two joint proposals, submitted by Shanghai Qiyao Technology Group Co., Ltd. 
and its partners during MEPC 84, were welcomed by the IMO’s working group. The proposals
argue that captured CO_(2 )can be converted into stable carbonates such as calcium
carbonate via mineralisation – a permanent storage that also produces usable construction
materials without carbon leakage.

Conventional OCCS relies on geological storage, which faces high costs and limited
reception infrastructure. Mineralisation offers a commercially viable alternative,
turning CO_(2) from a costly burden into a valuable industrial resource.

"We see this IMO attention as an important step. Closing the loop from shipboard
capture to onshore mineralisation can make carbon accounting more practical and 
economically attractive for the industry," said the head of Qiyao’s OCCS team.

One proposal (MEPC 84/7/18) details the technical and environmental case for mineralisation
as equivalent to permanent sequestration. The other (MEPC 84/INF.8) draws on Qiyao’s
real-world demonstration project, disclosing full-chain data from onboard capture,
ship-to-ship liquid CO_(2) transfer, land transport to final mineralisation – proving
the process is traceable, quantifiable and verifiable.

Shanghai Qiyao Technology Group Co., Ltd. has already fitted a full-scale OCCS system
aboard a 14,000 TEU container vessel and completed the world’s first ship-to-ship
transfer of liquid CO_(2) for onshore mineralisation. The company is joining hands
with global partners to deliver integrated solutions for the green upgrading and
transition of global shipping.
