Capital Gas announced three days ago, the successful delivery of the 'Amadeus', their second 22,000 cbm low-pressure liquid CO₂ (LCO₂) / Multi-Gas Carrier, from Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co., Ltd. (HMD). The 'Amadeus' is the second of four sister vessels scheduled for delivery by HMD in 2026. Engineered with cutting-edge multi-cargo capability, she is designed to transport LCO₂, LPG, ammonia, and selected petrochemicals. This delivery follows the recognition of sister vessel 'A

The transportation of carbon dioxide (CO2) in offshore environments is a critical component of carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) strategies. As global efforts intensify to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the ability to move captured CO2 safely and efficiently from capture sites to storage or utilisation locations offshore has become increasingly important. This article explores the various offshore CO2 transport methods, detailing their technical aspects, opera

BIMCO has introduced a new standard contract aimed at the fast-developing market for shipping liquefied carbon dioxide, as carbon capture projects begin to move from concept to execution. The world’s largest shipping association’s Documentary Committee has adopted CO2TIME 2026, a time charter party designed specifically for the carriage of liquefied CO₂ (LCO₂). It marks the first standard form tailored to this segment, where shipping is expected to play a key role in linking

The comprehensive "reading" and recording of the risks that accompany the supply chain of the CCS value chain is a prerequisite for the emitters to be able to open up to the full scope of the discussion on contracts for difference (CCfDs), which in turn will practically pave the way for final investment decisions. In particular, as competent sources with knowledge of the matter point out, the quantification of the risks that may arise during the maturation of the projects and

As owner’s engineer, Mott MacDonald will provide multidisciplinary oversight across planning, design and construction, verifying that the project meets the highest standards of

Denmark’s Inno–CCUS is to launch 12 projects across two new funding pools (3 and 4). They will be officially launched on 27 April at the DTU Technical University of Denmark. Projects include GCO2M, which aims to turn grassland biomass into carbon-storing building materials; OMGCCS, which will monitor ground and surface water above CO2 storage; and IKKA-CCUS, which will demonstrate low-energy capture processes based on ikaite formation in seawater. “If CCUS is going to deliver

The tripartite partnership will be focused on expanding business opportunities for CCS projects in Japan and overseas, including optimizing transportatio

source: Noerthern Lights. Norway’s Northern Lights carbon capture and storage (CCS) project has begun injecting its first volumes of biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from wastewater treatment. The project, located in the North Sea, has received CO2 derived from wastewater processing at the Veas facility in Slemmestad, which serves more than 800,000 people in the Oslo region. The captured emissions have been liquefied and transported by truck to the Øygarden receiving te
