How Shipping Carbon Dioxide Could Boost Carbon Capture

Cars That Think

By providing a cost-effective option to transport the greenhouse gas, CO 2 shipping could provide an impetus for large-scale deployment of carbon-capture utilization and storage (CCUS). Twenty-seven commercial CCUS projects are operational as of 2021, with another 108 in the pipeline. billion in funding from the Norwegian government.
