Offshore CO2 Transport Methods: Techniques for Maritime Carbon Dioxide Movement
The transportation of carbon dioxide (CO2) in offshore environments is a critical component of carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) strategies. As global efforts intensify to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the ability to move captured CO2 safely and efficiently from capture sites to storage or utilisation locations offshore has become increasingly important. This article explores the various offshore CO2 transport methods, detailing their technical aspects, opera

BIMCO introduces CO2TIME 2026 the first CO2 shipping charter party
BIMCO has introduced a new standard contract aimed at the fast-developing market for shipping liquefied carbon dioxide, as carbon capture projects begin to move from concept to execution. The world’s largest shipping association’s Documentary Committee has adopted CO2TIME 2026, a time charter party designed specifically for the carriage of liquefied CO₂ (LCO₂). It marks the first standard form tailored to this segment, where shipping is expected to play a key role in linking

Risk sharing and requirements for CCfDs in CCS – The pending issues to reach the Prinos CO2 market test
The comprehensive "reading" and recording of the risks that accompany the supply chain of the CCS value chain is a prerequisite for the emitters to be able to open up to the full scope of the discussion on contracts for difference (CCfDs), which in turn will practically pave the way for final investment decisions. In particular, as competent sources with knowledge of the matter point out, the quantification of the risks that may arise during the maturation of the projects and

China signals opening of Carbon Market to financial institutions
China is signaling a potential shift in its national carbon market that could reshape trading dynamics and bring in a new class of participants. A recent State Council policy document, published on April 21, encourages financial institutions to take part in carbon trading, a move that analysts say could address persistent liquidity concerns in the system. The full text of the policy can be found in the official announcement (link in Chinese). Since its launch in 2021, China’s
