The transfer on 19 June, part of an end-to-end solution that includes onboard carbon capture, liquefaction, storage and ship-to-ship offloading to a carbon utilisation facility, represents a key step in overcoming longstanding port infrastructure challenges and highlights China\u2019s focus on decarbonisation.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany ports lack the infrastructure needed for large-scale carbon storage and ship-to-shore offloading,\u201d explained Su Yi, general manager of Shanghai Qiyao Environmental Technology Co., which led the project.<\/p>\n
\u201cYangshan Deep-Water Port\u2019s facilities and operational flexibility made it the ideal location to demonstrate ship-to-ship LCO\u2082 transfer.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis method eliminates the need for extensive terminal infrastructure, which often limits the deployment of onboard carbon capture systems.\u201d<\/p>\n
Su highlighted that ship-to-ship transfer at Yangshan significantly improves operational flexibility for vessels operating in terminals with limited infrastructure, allowing the offloaded LCO\u2082 to be shipped directly to storage and utilisation sites.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis landmark trial at Yangshan represents a critical step in scaling carbon capture across shipping and related industries,\u201d Su added. \u201cThe port\u2019s forward-thinking support has helped us prove a viable solution that can be replicated worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shanghai aims to be a frontrunner in the bunkering, trading and certifying alternative marine fuels, with a goal of supplying at least 1m tonnes of green fuels by 2030, reports Lloyd\u2019s List.<\/p>\n
It ranks among the top ports in the world for LNG bunkering, handling around 422,000\u202ftonnes of LNG in 2024.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead, SMDERI-QET says it plans to collaborate with global partners to develop regulations and standards to accelerate marine carbon capture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
