CO2 Logistic Study

About the CO2 Logistic Study

Once captured the carbon dioxide could either be utilized in bio-fuel production or stored permanently. Either option calls for investigation of temporarily storage and transportation solutions which we at Captimise have been working with for several years in various feasibility studies.

Our logistic study identifies the optimal solution regarding liquefaction and buffer storage and we compare transportation alternatives and shipping routes and contract.

We are in constant dialogue with the storage sites in Europe and provide up to date information regarding shipping. We help our customers identify the most cost-efficient solution for their carbon dioxide value chain from capture to final storage.

Step 1

Site Specification

The site specification defines available area and layout restrictions for the emitting plant site. The site specification includes annual profile of operational characteristics, design requirements and carbon dioxide quality specifications for transportation and permanent storage.

Step 2

Buffer storage and out-shipment

Establishment of buffer storage area including liquefaction and equipment for out-shipment area. Comparison of transportation alternatives to harbour (when applicable) to find the most optimal solution which meets the site-specific conditions.

Step 3

Shipping and Storage options.

Comparison of available options regarding shipping and storage including harbour capacity, transportation routes, ship design, contracts and ownerships for shipping and available storage sites.

Step 4

Cost estimates

Cost estimates of shipping and storage for each available option are delivered according to ACCE class 4-5 in level of detail. The logistic study results are presented in cost per ton of captured CO2 include estimates for liquefaction, buffer storage, out-shipment equipment, transportation and final storage. The cost estimates together with weighted KPIs help our customers to benchmark different logistic solutions against each other.
