Jan 31 (LNG) - Japanese energy and LNG engineering company Chiyoda Corp. and shipping company Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK), and its affiliate Knutsen NYK Carbon Carriers AS (KNCC) have conducted a joint study to evaluate and verify the feasibility of the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) value chain, including liquefaction, temporary storage and marine transportation of carbon dioxide. The study covered the three methods of elevated pressure (EP), medium pressure (MP), and low pressure (LP), which are assumed to be the technologies for CCUS.
“Going forward, the three companies will combine their engineering and shipping expertise to promote technical and economic studies of the three methods further and contribute to the social implementation of CCUS,” Chiyoda added. The MP and LP methods assume the installation of Type-C tanks on liquefied CO2 carriers and large tanks at onshore storage facilities as the primary method. The three companies will present details of their findings in March at the Global CCS Institute (GCCSI), an international think tank.
