Maritime Decarbonisation It would be interesting to know: 1. the cost per ton of CO2 captured as well as the size of the capture unit. 2. what is the intended use for the captured CO2 once it is unloaded at port, ie whether it is destined for permanent sequestration or converted into chemicals/fuels. "Solvang is a Norwegian shipping company transporting LPG and petrochemical tonnage. Seatrium’s scope of work under the project will include basic design, detailed engineering, procurement and upgrading of electrical and automation systems, as well as the integration of a carbon capture and compression or storage system. This will be carried out on Solvang’s 21,289 cubic m ethylene carrier Clipper Eris. The project, which will be piloted on board Clipper Eris over one year, aims to use amine cleaning technology to capture 70 per cent of carbon dioxide (CO2) in exhaust gas emitted from the vessel’s main engine. It will involve the entire value chain for handling CO2, including liquefaction and storage on board the vessel. “If the pilot project is successful, Solvang intends to install the technology on some of our vessels, including newbuilds, thereby contributing to a faster take-up of the technology,” said Solvang’s fleet director Tor Ask."
