Retrofitting is also a good idea.

💡 New Blog Post: Retrofitting Marine Engines for Methanol Use 🚢 While the spotlight has been on newbuild methanol-ready ships, #retrofit solutions play a substantial part in driving the transition to cleaner #shipping. With global #shipyards at full capacity and newbuild costs rising, #retrofitting provides shipowners a flexible, cost-effective way to meet new environmental regulations while avoiding long wait times. In our latest blog post, David Hammarström and Joost Weterings explore macro factors driving the shift towards retrofitting, along with the technical and operational aspects that shipowners must consider for a successful transition. 📖 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/d8Hma_Qd 💬 Are you interested in discussing #eMethanol and #eFuel facility projects?

A major new report by DNV, Equinor, Gassco AS, Shell and TotalEnergies has found that there are no technological showstoppers to a low-pressure CO2 ship transport chain. The CETO (CO2 Efficient Transport via Ocean) joint industry project (JIP) determines that for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) to play a significant role in helping the world to reduce emissions, transporting large amounts of CO2 will be vital. Pipelines will be an option, but where the capture source and storage sites are unable to be easily connected, ship transport will be crucial. To achieve commercially viable scale, low-pressure vessel solutions are an attractive alternative. Describing being part of the JIP as an honour, Erik Mathias Sørhaug, Business Development Director CO2 Shipping at DNV, said: “The project has demonstrated that a low-pressure solution is technically feasible which again will enable low-cost transportation solutions for CCS projects.” Read the full story here: https://dnv.social/5rV #Collaboration #Maritime #Decarbonization

With the uptake of methanol as an alternative green marine fuel slowing down, energy efficiency must be prioritised says DNV Maritime’s CEO Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen in a recent interview with Riviera Maritime Media Ltd., and with the shipping industry’s decarbonisation front of mind following SMM Hamburg. No matter the fuels that shipping deploys, fuel bills are certain to increase. Regulations such as the European Union’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) will progressively increase the price of using conventional fuels. Meanwhile, alternative fuels are more costly to produce and less energy-dense – meaning the price is higher and ship operators need to use more of the fuel. Fuel-agnostic and easy to implement technologies stand at the heart of shipping’s decarbonisation journey. However, as the number of solutions available steadily increases, the importance of data to support efficiency technology investment decisions and post-installation evaluation cannot be overstated.

DNV and project partners conclude no technical barriers to low pressure CO2 ship transport chain The following are the key points: - Feasibility and Technological Viability: The CETO JIP, involving major industry players like Equinor, Shell, TotalEnergies, and DNV, confirms that low-pressure CO2 ship transport (at approximately 7 bar and -49ºC) is technically feasible. The project successfully demonstrated that this technology is ready for initial deployment, with proven capabilities in liquid CO2 production, handling, and transport without significant technical barriers. - Regulatory Compliance and Design: The project validated that dedicated low-pressure liquid CO2 carriers can be designed in accordance with international rules and regulations, including the IMO IGC code and DNV ship rules for safety, strength, and stability. This ensures that the vessels meet required standards for safe transportation of CO2, crucial for scaling up commercial viability of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) initiatives. - Impact on CCS and Sustainability Goals: Stakeholders emphasize that optimized low-pressure CO2 transport solutions are pivotal in enhancing the economic viability of CCS projects. By reducing technology risks associated with CO2 transportation, this advancement accelerates progress towards achieving global carbon neutrality targets, supporting a sustainable and lower-carbon future for industries involved in CCS. #CO2Transport #CCS #CarbonCapture #Sustainability #MaritimeTechnology #ShippingIndustry #DNV #Equinor #Shell #TotalEnergies #ClimateAction #TechnologyInnovation #IndustryCollaboration #GreenShipping #LowPressureTransport https://dnv.social/5rV

DNV Maritime CEO Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen recently addressed the challenges and prospects of decarbonization in the maritime industry during the Energy Efficiency in Focus Seminar at Posidonia. Here are some key points from his remarks: Green Fuel Challenges: Low- and zero-carbon fuels remain scarce, hindering the transition. Investment Considerations: Dual-fuel vessels come with high capex premiums; energy efficiency measures are crucial. Realistic Outlook: Industry capabilities lag behind ambitious goals; retrofitting existing vessels faces logistical challenges. In summary, bridging the gap between ambition and practicality is essential for sustainable progress in shipping. 🌍🚢 #Decarbonization #alternativesfuels #greenfuels
