Leading the Clean Energy Transition
Our maritime services are essential for the construction and ongoing operations and maintenance of offshore energy projects that produce cleaner energy with lower emissions, and for the storage and transportation of low-carbon gases including LNG and ammonia - a carrier of hydrogen.
In a future where green hydrogen and its derivatives such as green ammonia are produced using renewable electricity from offshore wind, and as blue hydrogen and its derivatives such as blue ammonia, are produced using carbon capture, our services will be used by our global energy customers across the renewable energy value chain.
We also transport ethane, a low-carbon gas predominantly used to produce ethylene. Ethylene is used in the production of essential goods that society relies on, including construction materials, household appliances, healthcare products, packaging and renewable energy components. By using ethane instead of feedstock derived from crude oil, the carbon footprint of ethylene production is reduced.

Low-carbon vessels and an ambition for part of our fleet to be capable of net zero carbon operations from 2030
Our Decarbonisation Strategy:
- Focus on low-carbon newbuild assets incorporating the latest commercially viable technologies, to reduce carbon emissions upon delivery compared to conventional peer vessels
- Net zero carbon operational capability targeted across parts of our gas and offshore energy fleet by 2030 in terms of fuel source emissions, through a tailored mix of energy-saving devices, voyage optimisation tools, enhanced operational efficiency measures, alternative fuels, and integration of hybrid propulsion systems
- Phased approach due to evolving landscape of technology commercialisation
We recognise that the decarbonisation journey faces external constraints such as the availability of low-carbon fuels, technology and commercial dependencies, that could impact the timing of achieving our ambition.
Decarbonisation technologies towards net zero
As part of our broader sustainability framework, Purus is commited to building exploratory expertise in emergent decarbonisation technologies, allowing us to apply the knowledge and insights across our core gas and offshore energy fleet over time. In doing so, Purus provides a fleet of environmentally-advanced low-carbon vessels to the market, facilitating the supporting infrastructure and operational capacity essential for enabling the maritime energy transition.
Hybrid learnings from our electric ferries have already been used to enhance our CTV battery performance, and biofuel handling expertise applied to provide drop-in fuel options to our offshore energy customers. The carbon capture experience from our short-sea technology system will deliver strategic competitive advantage in deployment to deep-sea systems, when they become available.
Technology: Hybrid/Fully Electric
Low emission technology employed
State of the art design features are employed on both the hybrid and fully-electric passenger ferries making them amongst the most energy efficient in the world.
The Damen Ferry 2306 fully-electric ferry combines an optimal passenger experience with efficient propulsion. An automated charging system enables the ferry to be fully charged in just 7 minutes.
The Damen 2907 E3 Waterbus is extremely efficient in terms of weight, hull design and systems, featuring a hybrid-electric arrangement for peak shaving. Battery technologies are combined with B50 biofuel to limit the usage of marine diesel.
Technology: Carbon Capture
Value Maritime’s Filtree system
Purus has placed an order with Value Maritime for four emissions-reducing Filtree Systems, including Clean Loop System and 30% carbon capture, installed on our newbuild 1,400 TEU feeder container vessels operated by BG Freight Line, part of Peel Ports Group. Purus is the first company to install such technology on a newbuild container vessel. The 12.5 MW systems were installed following yard delivery during H1 2024.
Carbon circle
The Filtree Systems feature a modular CO 2 capture and storage system. This innovative technology captures CO 2 from exhaust emissions and uses it to charge a “CO 2 battery”, where it is stored and transported to shore. On shore, the CO 2 is discharged for use, for example, in the agricultural industry, after which the battery is returned to the vessel to be recharged, thus representing a 100% circular solution.

Alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Our vessels implement the latest in carbon reduction technologies, including fully-electric and battery hybrid propulsion, carbon capture systems, low-carbon fuels and high-impact energy saving devices that reduce carbon emissions immediately, with strategies to further reduce carbon in the future.
Our people who operate our vessels are highly skilled, bringing industry best practices and safe, cost-effective and low-carbon transport solutions. We seek a diverse work environment that fosters equity and inclusion to support a sustainable business.
Our know-how brings together knowledge from multiple sectors to integrate decarbonisation technologies across our business.
Our Memberships & Commitments
Collaboration is at our core.
Beyond working with our customers and suppliers, we work with industry groups across the maritime and energy value chain to develop ideas and foster innovation towards a low-carbon future for all.
