📣 ICYMI!
GCMD, OGCI (Oil and Gas Climate Initiative) and Stena Bulk, together with our partners, have just released a report assessing the viability of deploying a carbon capture system, retrofitted onboard the Stena Impero, an MR tanker.
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 (𝐎𝐂𝐂𝐒) 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐨?
The team considered the following factors, amongst others,
❓ 𝐀𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲: In particular, how can we use waste heat to operate the OCCS system to reduce fuel penalty?
❓ 𝐀𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞: How do we accommodate the OCCS system and integrate it in the most space- and cost-efficient manner?
❓ 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐂𝐂𝐒 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐎₂: How do we achieve the targeted net CO₂ avoided for the anticipated voyages between ports of call?
To aid design, the team conducted various vessel visits,
🇸🇬 At the project’s inception, GCMD and the project team visited the Stena Impero in Singapore to assess available onboard space for the OCCS system.
🇬🇧 A subsequent visit was then made to the sister vessel Stena Imperial in Immingham, UK, to gather information on existing free space and the positioning of major components. Based on this visit, a 3D model of the Stena Impero was developed with the main carbon capture components incorporated in the model.
🇦🇪 The second visit to the Stena Impero was at Drydocks World, Dubai, UAE where available onboard space was assessed again. That visit confirmed that it is technically feasible to integrate the carbon capture system onboard the Stena Impero.
These are some key design elements of the OCCS system:
🧩 𝐌𝐞𝐠𝐚-𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞: The carbon capture system was designed into a mega-skid module for easy onboard integration.
💰 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞: This mega-skid design is more cost-effective as it packages all the main OCCS system components together into one vertical module.
📏 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞: The OCCS system features a unique constant exhaust flow rate design. This design allows for an overall smaller system, targeting engine loads that produce the most emissions.
