Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Launched The First CO2 Transport Vessel, Specifically Designed As A Demonstration Vessel To Showcase The Technology’s Potential For Use In Carbon Capture, Storage, And Reuse Initiatives.

As Part Of A Broader Collaborative Effort Sponsored By The Japanese Government, Several Companies Are Working Together On This CO2 Transport Vessel Project. Its Goal Is To Operate And Demonstrate The Vessel While Also Researching And Commercializing The Technology Needed For Carbon Transport.

At The Shimonoseki Shipyard & Machinery Works Enoura Plant In Japan, The Demonstration Vessel Was Unveiled During The Launch Ceremony. With A Length Of 236 Feet And A Cargo Tank Capacity Of 1,450 Cubic Meters, The Vessel Is Expected To Start Test And Demonstration Voyages By The End Of 2023.

Mitsubishi Began To Build The Vessel In October 2022, Leveraging Its Experience In Building LNG And LPG Carriers. The Shipyard Is Responsible For The Vessel’s Design, Including The Cargo Containment System And Gas Handling Technology.

The CO2 Transport Demonstration Project Is Carried Out As Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. The Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (DSIC), Based In China, Has Also Started Construction On The First Commercial CO2 Transport Vessels Designed To Support Capture And Storage Schemes. The 426-Foot Vessels Were Ordered In Late 2021 By Northern Lights, A Joint Venture Between Equinor, Shell, And TotalEnergies.

Based In Norway, Northern Lights Plans To Start Transporting And Storing Carbon By Mid-2024, With The First Phase Of Operations Having An Annual Capacity Of 1.5 Million Tons Of CO2. The First Steel Cuts For The Two Ships Are Expected To Be Completed By November 2022, Each With A CO2 Capacity Of 7,500 Cubic Meters. These Larger Commercial CO2 Carriers Are Expected To Be Delivered In 2024.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Air bubbles from 3 million years ago extracted from Antarctic ice reveal that the current level of CO₂ has already surpassed that of the ancient, warm world, when the sea was up to 20 meters higher and there were no factories or cars burning fuel.

Brazil went to China to seek money and technology to reinvent TV and bring the internet to places where fiber does not reach. The mission negotiated with the BRICS Bank led by Dilma and paved the way for a Chinese rival of Starlink to connect the Amazon.

About 150 workers are driving, one by one, 4,585 BYD electric cars off a 220-meter ship at the Port of Itajaí. The 48-hour mega-operation is the largest shipment from the Chinese automaker in Santa Catarina this year.

Iceland is going to lower a drill five kilometers to reach rock at 400 degrees and try to extract clean energy on a scale that a common well cannot achieve.
