A small Danish startup has developed a system which not only cleanses the ship's polluted water from scrubber systems but also converts the water into new energy. The system could provide shipowners with huge savings, the founder tells ShippingWatch.

The infant company Gas2Green, headed by three students, has created the technology which in May took the first place in the Danish Championship in Entrepreneurship.
