Höegh Evi and Aker BP have secured an Approval in Principle (AiP) from DNV for a next-generation liquefied CO2 (LCO2) carrier.
The vessel, developed in Norway by Höegh Evi, Aker BP and Moss Maritime, is designed to transport captured CO2 safely and cost-efficiently from European industrial emitters to offshore sequestration sites on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).
DNV’s Approval in Principle includes a comprehensive assessment of the vessel’s design, including its onboard CO2 conditioning module. It is the first to be reviewed under DNV’s new CO2 RECOND class notation, developed specifically for CO2 handling and conditioning.
The approval marks a significant step in enabling the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) value chain and industrial decarbonization in Europe.
“This designation from DNV affirms the strength of our technical solution, which is key to realizing Höegh Evi and Aker BP’s unique CCS offering. Together, we can deliver a cost-efficient path to decarbonization, by connecting large-scale carbon emitters to permanent storage offshore,” said Nils Jakob Hasle, EVP Clean Energy at Höegh Evi.
“We are excited to leverage Aker BP’s extensive upstream expertise to mature and develop CO2 storage solutions on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. We appreciate the integrated and collaborative efforts with Höegh
