Marine Scrubber System Market Analysis

Technology (Wet Technology, Dry Technology)

Wet technology segment in the marine scrubber system market is estimated to hold the largest revenue share, accounting for 58%, owing to the growing adoption of sustainable scrubbing technologies. The preference for environmentally friendly wet scrubbing systems is also explained by its positive attributes, which include ease of design, flexibility in operation, and adaptability to different water alkalinity levels.  Wet marine scrubber systems are quite effective; the open loop type treats exhaust and removes Sox using naturally occurring seawater that is available during the maritime voyage. They are preferred for use, especially for large ocean-going vessels that operate far from coastal areas, due to these utilization features.

Fuel (Hybrid Fuel, Marine Diesel Oil (MDO), Intermediate Fuel (IFO), Residual)

Marine scrubber system market from the hybrid fuel segment is poised to garner the majority of the revenue share over the forecast period. Surging advancements in energy storage technology will drive the segment’s growth. For instance, in September 2022, Freudenberg e-power systems received type-approval from the Italian classification society RINA for the world’s first fuel cell system powered by methanol. This system utilizes fuel reforming technology combined with long-life PEM (proton exchange membrane) fuel-cell units that make up a scalable, modular system. Such developments, alongside the use of technology in mitigating local emissions in populated regions and maneuvering port operations in deep vessels, may proliferate the Industry growth from the hybrid fuel segment.
