Mitsubishi Shipbuilding has completed a conceptual study for the design of an “Ammonia/Liquefied CO2 Carrier” capable of transporting both ammonia and liquefied carbon dioxide (LCO2).
MOL announced the completion of a concept study on an ammonia/liquefied CO2 carrier to flexibly meet future demand for transport of liquefied CO2 and ammonia transport with a vessel type that could become the mainstream in this transport field.
MOL concluded MoU with PETRONAS, the state-owned energy company of Malaysia, to study liquefied CO2 transportation required for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) value chain.
Construction will get underway at the Enoura Plant of MHI’s Shimonoseki Shipyard & Machinery Works, with completion and delivery scheduled for the second half of fiscal 2023.
Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is an effective and necessary concept for realizing a carbon-neutral society. The demand for liquefied CO2 carriers is expected to grow rapidly going forward.
MOL will launch research and development (R&D) on the adoption of a large-scale liquefied carbon dioxide (CO2) carrier to complete the basic design under a project entrusted to Japan CCS Co., Ltd.
Several CCUS projects are underway in Europe with a clear commitment to creating environmental and economic benefits for emission-intensive industries that are hard to decarbonise.
Breakthrough in vessel design alongside a bilobe tank and cargo handling system will significantly increase maritime CO2 transportation capacity and improve viability of carbon capture and storage (CCS) chains
Global safety leader Survitec is advising the maritime industry to ensure fixed fire-fighting systems are commissioned by their original equipment manufacturers and that crews undergo basic system configuration training.
