Lots of interesting updates in the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies report on CO2 shipping, which emphasises the importance of CO2 shipping in Europe:


  • construction of CO2 ships underway; not only the 7,500m3 Northern Lights variety, but 22,000m3 at the Hyundai shipyards

  • with construction times of 12-36 months, the critical path of vessel construction is less than the underlying CCS projects they will service

  • a useful rule of thumb; a 20,000 tonne CO2 ship carrying out a one-week round trip will carry circa 1MTCO2pa

These all accord with 7CO2's estimates of construction and capacity requirements.
