Mitsui OSK Lines and K Line are to both carry out research into the potential for large-scale CO2 carriers as part of a larger Japanese project to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The research is being carried out under the auspices of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation (NEDO), Japan’s national research and development agency.
In late March this year, NEDO publicly called for proposals on a CO2 capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) research covering a large-scale CCUS demonstration project in Tomakomai, Hokkaido, and transportation of CO2.
