Carbon-Capturing Cement Ship Transforms CO2 Into Building Materials A carbon-capturing cement ship that sails and cleans as it moves
A new innovation is turning heads in the maritime and construction industries: a carbon-capturing cement ship that transforms pollution into building materials while in motion. As climate concerns rise, both shipping and cement manufacturing—two of the world’s most carbon-intensive sectors—face mounting pressure to reduce their emissions. Enter Seabound, a London-based startup that’s reimagining carbon capture at sea. Their technology converts exhaust carbon dioxide into limestone—a key cement ingredient—aboard the UBC Cork, a working cargo ship. This floating solution doesn’t just promise lower emissions; it contributes directly to the production of sustainable cement.

Seabound’s breakthrough lies in a modular retrofit system that can be installed on existing ships. Rather than overhauling the …
