Green Technologies for Quark Expedition Vessels
World Explorer and Ultramarine will be equipped with a Micro Auto Gasication System (MAGS) by Terragon Environmental that thermally breaks down waste, reducing waste volume by up to %. These units sequester carbon to reduce CO emissions, and are virtually self-sustaining after a .-hour startup. Developed and tested with support from the US Oce of Naval Research, Canadian Navy, and Sustainable Development Technology Canada, these units not only exceed MARPOL regulations, they’ve initiated a drive towards a change on the regulatory framework. MAGS has two positive by-products: heat, which we can use for interior spaces, and a soil enhancer called biochar, which improves soil’s water and nutrient retention and pH.
