Landmark study on offloading onboard captured carbon dioxide identifies low port readiness as key barrier to large-scale commercialisation

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, March 19, 2024

Whilst the technologies required for offloading onboard captured CO2 exist at high levels of maturity, safe operationalisation of captured CO2 transfer by trained personnel has not been demonstrated.

Key Points: 
  • Whilst the technologies required for offloading onboard captured CO2 exist at high levels of maturity, safe operationalisation of captured CO2 transfer by trained personnel has not been demonstrated.
  • The report, titled "Concept study to offload onboard captured CO₂," found that while a limited number of ports possess the infrastructure to offload liquefied CO2 (LCO2), they are primarily designed to handle food-grade CO2.
  • The higher purity standards that accompany this use limits the interoperability of facilities to handle onboard captured CO2.
  • Furthermore, introducing LCO2 offloading into already complex port operations will likely impact port efficiency and operational performance.
