Feasibility Study of Carbon Capture and Storage Process to implement in Maritime Industry

Abstract

The CO2 emission is considered as one of the main elements for causing the global climatic change. The maritime industry contributes about 2.5% of the worldwide CO2 gas emission annually. The International Maritime Industry (IMO) has set the target of has set the target of reducing the total annual emission from international shipping to 70% by 2050. So, the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) unit are considered as the principal alternative to reduce CO2 emission by capturing it from vessels.

This thesis investigates the various post combustion carbon capture technologies with the possibility of carbon transportation and long-term storage of captured carbon. This thesis performed the technical and economic analysis of installing the carbon capture and storage technology in the specified vessel according to with the methodology established.
