FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin China has called for faster global action on regulating onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS) in the shipping industry, warning that delays could slow progress toward maritime decarbonization. In a submission to the Marine Environment Protection Committee’s 84th session, the country urged the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to accelerate development of a regulatory framework, proposing approval of initial guidelines as early as 2026 and full completion by 2028. The proposal also highlights the need for an “experience-building phase,” allowing rules to evolve alongside real-world deployment of the technology.
