  As part of my capstone policy paper, I worked with Seabound to build a comprehensive understanding of EU and international regulations (e.g., IMO) around carbon capture in the shipping industry. Where regulation may be lacking or taking time to develop, we explored ways to advocate for greater adoption of carbon capture technology on ships (especially where other GHG-reducing options are not feasible or cost-effective), including building on efforts to improve incentive structures and/or policies around this space.
