CTS project
CETP project 2023-2025
Traditional solution for offshore storage requires large, costly infrastructure with immense footprint. Large costs and complexity of CCUS value chains hinder spread of technology especially for smaller emitters and storage operators. The CTS team will investigate how using ships as transport and injection vessels can unlock CCUS potential and speed up deployment of CCUS technologies
What are the main benefits?
Decentralized, flexible and effective matching emitters and storages.
Faster deployment and circumventing limitations of pipeline transport
Enhanced CCUS adoption by smaller emitters / storage operators
Ease creation of European (and global) on-demand CO2 storage market
What are the key activities?
The projects’ main objective is to demonstrate techno-economic feasibility of direct injection from ship to unlock CCS potential for the industry by increasing flexibility and versatility of the CCS value chain as well as to reduce costs. The secondary objectives are:
-
To create criteria for identifying most fitting conditions along the value chain for application of above said technology.
-
To screen for best candidates in the North Sea, Black Sea, Baltic Sea and Atlantic coast of Portugal for technology application.
-
To design and evaluate CCS value chains with direct injection from ship in the above-mentioned regions, and, to evaluate their potential against existing scenarios or traditional approaches where ships are only used for transportation.
-
To establish the dialogue with the stakeholders towards implementation of the technology in the selected regions.
-
To make further steps towards piloting the technology.
-
To increase awareness and acceptance of CCUS projects in the selected regions

Impact
Engage new stakeholders in four offshore regions through versatility, flexibility and cost efficiency of direct CO2 injection from ship for permanent storage.
Design of a full CCUS value chain in Baltic, Black and North Seas as well as Atlantic cost of Portugal.
Investigate the applicability of the direct ship injection concept at a variety of geological provinces.
Map potential emitters, prepare conceptual design of the value chain with a focus on ship design, wells, and storage site.
Contribute to project demonstration in most CCS ready areas: North Sea and Portuguese coast.
Share knowledge and promote CCS in target areas and beyound!
