As published FEnEx CRC research has shown, the international shipping of CO2 will be crucial to cost-effective exports of clean energy. However, to carry sufficiently large volumes in an economic manner, ships will need to store, handle and transport liquified CO2 at low pressure and low temperature (around 7 bar, -49 °C).
This is very close to the fluid’s triple point (5.2 bar, -56.6 °C) and raises concerns about dry ice formation and blockages in parts of the CCUS value chain. The current understanding of liquified CO2 captured from industrial processes at these conditions is inadequate for robust and cost-effective design of such carrier ships and the associated storage tanks and loading /offloading system.
This Project consists of activities to demonstrate the technical feasibility and operability of the Low Pressure and Low Temperature Liquefied CO2 Transportation Technology (“LP Technology”).
