UK-based wind propulsion provider BAR Technologies and Norway-based marine engineering company Brevik Engineering have unveiled a joint concept for a liquid carbon dioxide (LCO₂) carrier equipped with wind-assisted propulsion system (WAPS).

Marine energy infrastructure developer Höegh Evi and oil major Aker BP have received an approval in principle (AiP) from classification society DNV for their liquefied CO2 (LCO2) carrier design in what was described as “a significant step” in enabling the carbon capture and storage (CCS) value chain
