Høglund Marine Solutions along with HB Hunte Engineering joined forces for LPG and CO2 transportation tank concept, based on existing, proven technology.
Namely, the new system more than doubles current vessel cargo capacity to transport liquified CO2, while is considered a major step in boosting carbon capture and storage market.
It more than doubles the transportation capacity of liquid CO2 over current vessel capacity without the size, weight and stability concerns that would have come from a higher capacity “monolobe” design. It can be quickly adapted for LPG, giving extra flexibility to a vessel that uses them.
…as Høglund stated.
In fact, Høglund and HB Hunte’s transportation solution uses a bilobe tank with a capacity of 8000cbm, drawing on Cargo Handling System (CHS) and tank designs that they have previously proven in LNG, LPG and other sectors.
The tank configuration has a direct and positive impact for the use of different alternative material and reasonable fabrication processes while complying with IGC Code and conventional rule.
According to the two partners, this allowed the production of a solution which is substantially lower cost and risk than conventional very large diameter cylindrical type offering the same capacity.
With new lines of finance emerging that support decarbonisation, we must develop the technology to achieve it at pace and scale. We are happy to team up with Høglund to support the development of safe and economical sea transport of captured carbon to a point where it cannot harm our planet.
….Wolfgang Franzelius, Director Sales & Business Development at HB Hunte, said.
Concluding, the solution is readily available for use in existing tanker designs.
