        总部位于比利时的船东Exmar公司已经与韩国科技公司Lattice 联手，致力于开发一种新型的二氧化碳运输船。

 

        据了解，这两家公司将结合他们各自的专长，Exmar擅长高效气体运输船的设计和运行，而Lattice则侧重于在创新二氧化碳运输的罐体设计。

 

        据该公司称，一项研究证明，Lattice的专利罐体设计，即lattice的钢制压力容器(LPV)，方便了中低压环境下的大量二氧化碳的运输。其设计和容器尺寸可以调整，以满足所有需要的运输量，以确保最优化的物流解决方案。

 

        具体来说，最初的想法是将包括一艘195米长的巴拿马型船，货物容量为40,500立方米。这样的船将被专门打造，以支持产能从2-10 万吨/年(MTPA)的二氧化碳捕集利用与封存(CCUS)项目。

 

        此外，预计将有3000立方米的储存容量，用于储存液化石油气（LPG）、氨或液化天然气（LNG）等二氧化碳排放较低的燃料。

 

        Lattice科技公司首席执行官Keunoh Park说：“这个项目提供了一个极好的机会，证明我们的钢制压力容器(LPV)技术将是一个关键的推动者，通过降低排放使航运更加绿色环保，还为二氧化碳的运输和处理提供重要的基础设施。”

 

        Exmar执行董事Jens Ismar总结说：“我们对与LATTICE的合资企业感到非常高兴和兴奋，因为我们坚信二氧化碳捕集利用与封存(CCUS)项目将成为我们在大气层去碳化努力中的一个主要贡献者。”

 

        早在今年7月，Exmar与加拿大化肥公司Nutrien签署了一项协议，开发和建造一艘氨燃料低碳船舶，以减少海上二氧化碳的排放。

Exmar taps South Korean firm to develop new type of CO2 carrier

 

Belgium-based shipowner Exmar has joined forces with South Korean tech company Lattice Technology to work on the development of a new type of CO2 carrier.

 

As informed, the two companies will combine their individual expertise, Exmar’s knowledge of the design and operation of efficient gas carriers and Lattice’s knowledge of creating innovative tank designs for CO2 transport.

 

A study proved that the patented Lattice’s tank design, lattice pressure vessel (LPV), provides the best solution for large-scale CO2 transportation at low and medium pressures, according to the firm. The design and vessel size can be adjusted to meet all required transport volumes to ensure the most optimal logistical solution.

 

Specifically, the initial concept will include a 195-meter long Panamax beam vessel with a cargo capacity of 40,500 cbm. Such a vessel will be tailored to support CCUS projects with capacities ranging from 2 to 10 MTPA.

 

Additionally, a 3,000 cbm storage capacity for low CO2 emitting fuels like liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), ammonia or liquefied natural gas (LNG) has been foreseen.

 

“This project provides an excellent opportunity to demonstrate that the LPV technology will be a key enabler in making shipping greener with lower emissions and by providing important infrastructure for transporting and dealing with CO2,”Keunoh Park, CEO of Lattice Technology, stated.

 

“We are very pleased and excited about this joint venture with LATTICE as we strongly believe CCUS will be a major contributor in our efforts to decarbonize the atmosphere,”Jens Ismar, Executive Director Shipping at Exmar, concluded.

 

Back in July this year, Exmar signed an agreement with Canadian fertilizer company Nutrien to develop and build a low-carbon, ammonia-fueled vessel to reduce maritime emissions.
