Based on application, the AHTS offshore marine selective reduction systems will hold more than 36.5% of the revenue share by 2032. Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels are a specific type of offshore support vessel that plays a crucial role in anchor handling, towing, and supplying operations for offshore platforms, rigs, and other installations. These typically use powerful diesel engines for propulsion and auxiliary operations. Further, the SCR systems are integrated into the vessel's propulsion and auxiliary engines, which are designed to work seamlessly with the engines, optimizing combustion and reducing NOx emissions without compromising on the overall engine performance, thereby stimulating the business statistics.
Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs) are specialized vessels designed to support offshore oil and gas platforms by transporting equipment, supplies, and personnel. The typical marine SCR system for PSV vessels includes components such as an ammonia injection system, a catalyst, and control systems. The ammonia injection system introduces a reducing agent (often urea) into the exhaust stream, and the catalyst facilitates the chemical reaction that converts NOx into nitrogen and water. In addition, the vessels are designed to operate in dynamic offshore conditions, wherein the SCR systems under varying loads, speeds, and operational scenarios, ensuring reliable NOx reduction in different environmental conditions.
North America offshore marine selective catalytic reduction systems market will account for over USD 101 million by 2032. Stringent environmental regulations set by regulatory bodies including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States support offshore vessel operators to adopt SCR systems. The designation of Emission Control Areas in North American waters, including the U.S. Caribbean Sea ECA along with the U.S. & Canadian Atlantic and Pacific ECAs, imposes stricter emission limits, which will continue to sway the market trends. Furthermore, the government provide incentives and subsidies including tax credits, or grants which will influence the vessel operators to invest in the SCR systems as part of a broader effort to promote environmental sustainability, which will augment the industry dynamics.
