Amid the global drive to reduce emissions, carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology is developing at pace. It works by capturing carbon from its sources at industrial sites and processing it into liquefied CO2. This is then transported to a shore-based terminal, from where it is carried in pipes to underground storage locations.
The maritime transport element will soon be a vital part of the CCS chain, adding new technologies to increase the carrying capacity of captured CO2 in a commercially viable way.
