LCO2 Carrier

Building on our proven experience and operational know-how in liquified CO2 transportation, we are driving CCS initiatives to contribute decarbonized society.

 

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a technology that enable to capture CO₂ emitted from power plants and industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere and then to store it deep underground with stable geological formation. It is expected to play an important role in decarbonization of “hard to abate” industries as it is very difficult to reduce carbon emissions by electrification or fuel switching. 

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a chain of interconnected processes, including CO₂ capture, liquefaction transportation, reception, injection, and storage. This integrated sequence is recognized as the “CCS value chain” which is a critical foundation for the safe and reliable storage of capture CO₂. Shipping contributes to this CCS value-chain by transporting liquefied CO₂ from the point of capture to storage sites. Maritime shipping transportation is considered as one of the most economical options especially for long-distance or for cross-border transportations since it can offer greater flexibility in routing and requires lower upfront infrastructure investment in comparison to pipeline transportation.
