Abstract

This paper introduces our R&D, which has been sponsored by JRTT and conducted by NMRI, of the most suitable floating platform for CO₂ release in order to carry out CO₂ storage on deep seabed (FPCS). FPCS requires, at first, large CO₂ storage tanks in it and small motion characteristic to continue stable production and release of CO₂ slurry via injection pipes into the sea and to carry out on-loading of CO₂ liquid from CO₂ shuttle tankers to the Platform in a considerably severe sea condition. We designed the hull shape twice. In addition, FPCS shall have a reliable mooring system, on-loading system, cooling compressors, slurry pumps, and large deck for process plant and utilities. We successfully completed the R&D including cost estimation of FPCS.
