Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (SHI) has received an Approval in Principle (AiP) for its Floating CO2 Storage Unit (FCSU) design from Bureau Veritas (BV).
As explained by Bureau Veritas, the FCSU features a free-form pressure tank design with a Lattice Pressure Vessel, providing an efficient alternative to traditional cylindrical tanks by integrating storage directly into the hull of the unit. This design allows for the effective storage of CO2 captured at onshore terminals, which is then compressed and injected into depleted oil and gas wells for long-term storage.
This new CCS product development is a significant achievement that once again demonstrates Samsung Heavy Industries’ technological expertise and innovation. We are committed to leading the eco-friendly marine industry, and this technology will be a key solution in reducing carbon emissions and contributing to a sustainable future.
… said Haeki Jang, Chief Technology Officer, Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.
Meanwhile, Alex Gregg-Smith, the Senior Vice President for the Asia Pacific region at Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore, expressed enthusiasm about supporting the advancement of innovative technologies such as the Floating CO2 Storage Unit. He conveyed anticipation for the ongoing partnership as this technology evolves, emphasizing its potential contribution to establishing a sustainable CO2 supply chain.
The AiP certificate was presented to SHI’s Chief Technical Officer, Haeki Jang, by BV Marine & Offshore President Matthieu De Tugny at a ceremony during Gastech 2024.
