NET-ZERO ROADMAP I OFFSET
Carbon Capture & Storage
The current projects and research into the use of Carbon Capture & Storage systems are part of the Offset pillar within our Net-Zero Roadmap.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is the process of capturing ‘waste’ carbon dioxide from large emitters, usually power plants or cement factories.
Ship Based Carbon Capture and Storage
The overall objective of this project is to implement a safe and economic Carbon Capture and Storage system on board the Sleipnir in order to virtually eliminate carbon emissions while running on LNG, without jeopardizing operational performance and capabilities. Preliminary results show that up to 80% of all carbon emissions can be captured on board Sleipnir while working offshore, although the exact details and optimal economic performance of the plant have yet to be determined.
Heerema aims to participate in industry studies over the coming years to establish technical feasibility. Since the beginning of 2021, Heerema is participating in the EverLoNG project, which is supervised by TNO. In case of technical feasibility and economic viability, a full-scale CCS plant could be installed by 2024.
Industry studies
to accelerate collaboration
Heerema is participating in several industry studies on ship based carbon capture and storage, of which the DERISCO2 project is one.
The ultimate goal of DERISCO2 is to prepare the CCS technology for the pilot on board the Sleipnir in the future.
#CarbonCapture&Storage
‘What to do with the CO2?’
The central topic of our research on the supply chain of on-board CCS by Max Buirma. A ‘hybrid solution’ with a large storage tank and separate CO2 containers is proposed. Though many challenges remain to be solved, CCS shows great promise in North-West Europe with existing CO2 demand and upcoming projects such as Northern Lights and Porthos.
