Autumn 2017 European Energy Innovation 37

COMMUNICATION

The targeted users in the maritime
sector currently have no experience
with these kind of capture units
and would therefore require a
demonstration plant to understand
the implications on ship operation,
economic impact and scale.

INNOVATION TARGET
The development and

demonstration of a CO2-capture and
storage unit for ships will achieve:

• A high (energy-) efficiency of the
unit on board

• A compact, economically feasible
carbon capture unit

• An efficient and economically Impression of the concept design with the capture equipment located in
the engine casing and funnel for a short sea vessel. Visible are the main
feasible storage (cryogenic, components of the system, without piping.

pressurized) of liquefied CO2 on
board of a ship

• Optimised integration with available
excess heat and cold on board of a ship

• An adequate and well organised distribution chain for

liquid CO2 covering the storage on board of a ship, off-
loading in a port or terminal and further distribution to

end users

• Identification of alternative applications for liquid CO2 1) http://www.imo.org/en/OurWork/Environment/PollutionPrevention/
