Governing onboard carbon capture residues: a precautionary framework for sea disposal of calcium-looping by-products
International shipping's pursuit of decarbonization increasingly focuses on onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS), with calcium looping (CaL) offering a technically attractive pathway. However, the resulting CaCO3-rich residues present a novel governance challenge, exceeding the scope of existing regulations like MARPOL. This study proposes a staged precautionary framework, emphasizing legal classification and auditable custody transfer, to address critical governance gaps concerning carbon-crediting, environmental assessment, and institutional responsibility.
