Summary:

This project focuses on validating H-DEUX Ltd’s Flexi-capture multi-pollutant emission control technology through advanced process simulation and safety analysis.

We will develop models of the 9-stage capture system, evaluating performance across diesel, methanol, LNG, ammonia, and hydrogen fuels to optimise CO₂ (>90%), NOₓ (>85%), and N₂O (>90%) capture efficiency. Dense gas dispersion modelling and Quantitative Risk Assessment will establish safety zones meeting UK HSE ALARP criteria, providing critical evidence for Approval in Principle submission to classification societies. Techno-economic and life cycle assessment will quantify commercial viability and environmental benefits, supporting pathway to maritime deployment and UK decarbonisation objectives.
