Die Internationale Organisation für Normung ISO (International Organization for Standardization) ist die internationale Vereinigung von Normungsorganisationen und erarbeitet internationale Normen. Das o.g. Technische Komitee (TC – Technical Committee) beschäftigt sich mit der Normungsarbeit für die Planung, den Bau, den Betriebs, der Umweltplanung und des Umweltmanagements, des Risikomanagements, der Quantifizierung, der Überwachung und Verifizierung sowie der damit zusammenhängenden Tätigkeiten im Bereich der Abscheidung, des Transports und der geologischen Speicherung von Kohlendioxid (Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage – CCS).
ISO/TC 265 “Carbon Dioxide Capture, Transportation and Geological Storage“ hat eine Entwurf erstellt. Das Komitee wird im DIN durch DIN NA 119-01-04 AA CO2-Abscheidung, Transport, Speicherung des NAW (Normenausschuss Wasserwesen) gespiegelt. Der NAW bittet die Normenstelle für Schiffs- und Meerestechniks (NSMT) um Mithilfe für die Expertensuche zu diesem Thema und für die Kommentierung des Entwurfs. Bitte informieren Sie über dieses Projekt in Ihren Fachkreisen!
Draft: Transportation of CO2 by Ship
In a Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) value chain, shipping, together with pipelines, are the main means for transportation of CO2 from the emitter to the storage. Transportation of gas in liquid phase is well known for the shipping industry and has been done for decades. However, liquid CO2 is different from other gases carried by ships and poses new challenges. Liquid CO2 can be transported at different temperatures and pressures which set different requirements to the ship’s cargo containment system. The selected condition of CO2 for the ship transportation sets requirements for the other parts of the CCS value chain. The purpose of this technical report is to support consistency and compatibility in the design of CO2 carriers by addressing important areas where future standardisation can add value to the further development of CCS value chains. This technical report will discuss CO2 ship types and ship logistic, and interface specific aspects related to safe and reliable design, construction, and operation of CO2 ships. Transportation of liquified gas on ships has been done for more than half a century and is governed by the regulations, codes and conventions drawn up under the International Maritime Organization (IMO) which is referred to under United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Seas (UNCLOS). Ships carrying CO2 are regulated by the IMO International Gas Carrier (IGC) Code, which serves as the main technical regulation for CO2 carriers under the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). Ship transportation of CO2 is currently limited to commercial trade (food, beverage, etc) and is served by a handful of smaller ships. However, the evolving industry around CCS will demand transportation volumes of a different magnitude and involve development of new ship designs and ship logistics concepts. These are introducing a need for knowledge-sharing related to type of transportation concepts (cargo conditions relating to pressure and temperature), CCS chain compatibility (equipment materials and CO2 composition), the range of product specifications, and the technical and operational reliability and safety of CO2 carriers. It is anticipated that ship transportation of CO2 will be an important complement to pipeline transportation to facilitate the wide range of CCS project needs. Hence, it is expected that the new tranche of larger-capacity CO2 carriers for CCS will benefit from the development of new guidelines, recommendations, and standards aiming to close technical, operational, and regulatory gaps. This technical report is considered an important source of information for the further development of such industry documents. Quantification, verification and reporting along the different elements in the CCS value chain will become important. Limitations and challenges to this and how this can be done onboard the ship is briefly described.
