Decarbonisation Technology - August 2024 Issue

emitters based on their proximity to CO 2 storage sites, existing pipeline networks or potential utilisation opportunities can inform the feasibility of the development of projects in these sites. Outlook for LCO 2 carriers It is still uncertain how big the CO 2 and LCO 2 shipping markets will be. However, with more and more CCUS projects being announced, it is expected that increasing the number and unit capacities of LCO 2 carriers will be essential to transport the large volumes of captured CO 2, and the projections of the future fleet are ambitious.

variables involved in estimating the size of the shipping market, such as total CCUS market size, announcements of projects and their successes, and the economic climate and disruptions, make accurate predictions difficult. However, as new projects are announced and source-to-sink matching increases, it becomes apparent that a significant number of new vessels will be required to satisfy the demand for transport, storage, and utilisation.

The utilisation of CO 2 in industrial processes, including the production of alternative fuels, is also at an early stage, and there is wide variance in predictions for the expected growth of the market. However, the need for utilisation of CO 2 in industrial processes driven by the energy transition will create additional demand and likely lead to further growth in the size of the LCO 2 market. According to a 2018 study by the European Zero Emission Technology and Innovation Platform (ETIP ZEP), it is estimated that 600 vessels will be required to support the burgeoning CCUS sector in Europe. Although the study was EU-specific, the LCO2 vessels will support the development of the carbon value chain all over the world. As vessels sizes increase, the required fleet size may shrink; however, the total capacity required will follow the market trend of greater need for LCO 2 carriers. The assumptions and
