新加坡全球海事脱碳中心（GCMD）宣布在其合作伙伴奥雅纳（Arup）的支持下，将其在船上捕获的液化二氧化碳（LCO2）卸载概念研究项目授予劳氏船级社（LR）。该研究将于今年4月开始，预计耗时9个月。研究内容包括CO₂卸载与燃油加注和货物装卸同时进行的可行性，以及上述作业的操作和安全影响。由于LCO2卸载对于岸上基础设施的依赖，此次研究也将评估现有基础设施对LCO2卸载的准备情况，并分析建设和运营LCO2装卸基础设施的成本。该项研究目的是支持建立关于船上卸载LCO2 的监管和操作指南，并为未来大规模船载碳捕获技术相关的试点和示范项目树立先例。

The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation has awarded to Lloyd’s Register (LR) a concept study into the offloading of liquefied CO₂ captured onboard ships. LR will be assisted by sustainable development collective Arup. The study is expected to take 9 months and started in April 2023.The study will consider the likely scenario that CO₂ offloading takes place at the same time as bunkering and cargo operations, and the operational and safety implications of simultaneous operations. Offloading LCO₂ will rely on landside infrastructure, and so the study will assess the readiness of existing infrastructure for LCO₂ offloading and explore the costs of building and operating LCO₂ handling infrastructure. The aim of the study is to help support the establishment and development of regulatory guidelines, building towards demonstration and pilot projects for offloading shipboard captured CO₂ as LCO₂.
