H\u00f6egh Evi and Aker BP have been awarded an Approval in Principle (AiP) from DNV for a next-generation liquefied CO2 (LCO2)carrier. The vessel, developed in Norway by H\u00f6egh Evi, Aker BP and Moss Maritime, is designed to transport captured CO2 safely and cost-efficiently from European industrial emitters to offshore sequestration sites on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).<\/p>\n
The AiP is the first to be reviewed under DNV\u2019s new CO2 RECOND class notation, developed specifically for CO2 handling and conditioning. It includes a comprehensive assessment of the vessel\u2019s design, including its onboard CO2 conditioning module.<\/p>\n
The next-generation liquefied CO2 (LCO2) carrier is a key part of a fully integrated carbon removal option for both large and dispersed EU emitters. By integrating CO2 conditioning and offloading capabilities directly into the shuttle carriers, the design minimizes complexity, reduces risk of impurity co-mingling and ensures reliable injection into offshore reservoirs. Two approved variants of CO2 vessels will offer total capacities of up to 50,000 cubic meters of liquid CO2.<\/p>\n
H\u00f6egh Evi and Aker BP\u2019s CCS solution can be applied for the Aker BP-operated CO2 storage licenses on the Norwegian Continental Shelf<\/a>: EXL 005 Poseidon and EXL 011 Atlas. While initially sized to handle up to 10 million tonnes of CO2 per annum, it may be scaled to accommodate growing market demand.<\/p>\n \u201cThis designation from DNV affirms the strength of our technical solution, which is key to realizing H\u00f6egh Evi and Aker BP\u2019s unique CCS offering,\u201d said Nils Jakob Hasle, EVP clean energy at H\u00f6egh Evi. \u201cTogether, we can deliver a cost-efficient path to decarbonization, by connecting large-scale carbon emitters to permanent storage offshore.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe are excited to leverage Aker BP\u2019s extensive upstream expertise to mature and develop CO2 storage solutions on the Norwegian Continental Shelf,\u201d said \u00d8rjan Jentoft, asset manager for CCS at Aker BP. \u201cWe appreciate the integrated and collaborative efforts with H\u00f6egh Evi in the development of the CCS value chain. This innovative design with designation from DNV is expected to set new benchmarks in safe, cost-efficient, and sustainable large-scale CO\u2082 transportation and storage<\/p>\n \u201dDNV is pleased to collaborate with such a strong consortium of partners to help bring this large-scale CCS project closer to realization. This AIP demonstrates how maritime regulations with DNVs new class rules can support the development of safe and cost-efficient solutions for CO2 transportation and offshore injection \u2013 an essential step toward building cost-effective CCS value chains,\u201d said DNV Maritime COO Christina Saenz de Santa Maria.<\/a><\/p>\n The post H\u00f6egh Evi and Aker BP get DNV approval for next-gen LCO2 carrier<\/a> appeared first on Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
