The country that created the LNG seaborne trades is setting out to commercialise the shipping of carbon dioxide.
Japanese shipbuilder Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has rolled out plans to commercialise a CO2 carrier design by 2025 to support its diversification into the carbon capture sector.
It comes as another Japanese shipbuilder, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, has just launched the world’s first liquified hydrogen carrier, determined to start a new shipping segment, with Japanese shipyards also racing to complete ammonia carrier designs.
