A ship from China brought over 5,000 electric cars to Brazil at once: it was the largest operation ever recorded by the port, with 5,101 vehicles disembarking in Paranaguá.
Once Completed, The Ship Will Be Owned By Sanyo Kisen And Will Be Leased To The Japan Engineering Promotion Association (ENAA), One Of The Organizations Involved In The Demonstration Project. They Installed And Operated A LCO2 Maritime Storage Tank System For System Research And Development.
The New Energy And Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) Of Japan Is Organizing And Sponsoring Demonstration Projects As Part Of Various Initiatives To Support The Commercialization Of CO2 Transportation Technologies.
Japan Also Sponsors The Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain Technology Research Association (HySTRA) CO2-Free Project And Last Year Demonstrated The World’s First Liquefied Hydrogen Transport Vehicle, The Swiss Border, In A Similar Project To Support The Development Of Liquid Hydrogen Transportation.
CO2 Transport Vessel Project
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.
