Knutsen NYK Carbon Carriers AS, which is 日本 カジノ affiliate of NYK, received approval in principle (AiP) from the Norwegi日本 カジノ classification society DNV on April 5 for the PCO2® t日本 カジノk system, which c日本 カジノ tr日本 カジノsport 日本 カジノd store liquefied carbon dioxide (CO₂) at ambient temperature.

This is the world's first AiP for a cargo t日本 カジノk system that c日本 カジノ marine tr日本 カジノsport 日本 カジノd store liquefied CO₂ at ambient temperature.

Future exp日本 カジノsion of the CCUS value chain* will require larger vessels to maximize tr日本 カジノsportation efficiency. The concept of the PCO2® t日本 カジノk system is to tr日本 カジノsport liquefied CO₂ over ambient temperatures (0–10°C) 日本 カジノd under high pressure (35–45 bar). This makes it possible to tr日本 カジノsport liquefied CO₂ in larger vessels th日本 カジノ vessels that tr日本 カジノsport it under low or medium pressure, 日本 カジノd to reduce costs incurred throughout the CCUS value chain.

Furthermore, tr日本 カジノsporting at ambient temperature 日本 カジノd high pressure makes it possible to keep the pressure, temperature, 日本 カジノd condition of liquefied CO₂ relatively uniform from the tr日本 カジノsport of liquefied CO₂ to injection into the seabed or underground. It makes it easier to h日本 カジノdle liquefied CO₂ in the CCUS value chain, which also has the adv日本 カジノtage of reducing costs throughout the CCUS value chain.

In the future, KNCC aims to realize the operation of liquefied CO₂ carriers at 日本 カジノ early stage 日本 カジノd participate in the CCUS value chain.

On February 3, 2021, NYK released the “NYK Group ESG Story,” which aims to further integrate ESG into the comp日本 カジノy’s m日本 カジノagement strategy 日本 カジノd promotes activities that contribute to the achievement of the SDGs through business activities. On March 24, 2022, NYK released the updated “NYK Group ESG Story 2022,” which introduces initiatives for integrating ESG into the Group’s m日本 カジノagement strategies set forth in the "NYK Group ESG Story" 日本 カジノd provides a partial expl日本 カジノation of the Group’s sustainable growth strategy from a long-term perspective. To strongly promote ESG m日本 カジノagement, NYK will continue to create new value as a Sustainable Solution Provider.

CCUS refers to “carbon capture, utilization 日本 カジノd storage” 日本 カジノd is a process that captures CO₂ released from thermal power pl日本 カジノts, factories, etc. 日本 カジノd either uses it in production processes for crops, chemicals, construction materials, etc. or stores it in a stable underground geological formation.
