Carbon shipping vital for EU CCS value chain
Maritime technology will help industry scale and enable the development of CCS projects in Southern Europe
Carbon transport by ship is an integral part of deploying a CCS value chain across Europe, according to experts in the industry. Shipping is often the preferred solution for early-stage CCS projects that will initially produce low volumes and will, therefore, be key in helping the sector scale. “A lot needs to happen if the EU is to achieve its goal of storing 50mt/yr of CO₂ by 2030, and the development of a shipping network is an important part of that equation,” Mathias Sorhaug, business development director for CO₂ shipping at consultant DNV Maritime, told Carbon Economist.
