Elsewhere, the CO2 storage economy will be contingent on port-based offloading and transport systems and land and sea-based storage facilities that have yet to exist. Carbon carriers, a new ship type specifically for carriage of CO2, are also in the early stages of production, and entirely new ship voyages will be needed to transport carbon around the world.
But the technology is a step closer this month as DNV awards an approval in principle (AiP) for a Hyundai onboard carbon-capture and storage (OCCS) system specifically designed to be retrofitted to existing vessels.
The joint industry project with HD Hyundai Marine solution, and HD Hyundai Engineering & Technology, has been initially applied to a 15,000-TEU boxship built by HD Hyundai Group.
“HD HMS has added OCCS retrofitting, along with Dual Fuel Engine Retrofit and FSRU/FSU conversion, to its eco-friendly retrofit business in order to provide total solutions that meet various customers’ requirements,” said Ki-Dong Lee, CEO of HD Hyundai Marine Solution.
