Design and Techno-economic assessment of an onboard carbon capture utilisation and sequestration (CCUS) system for LNG-powered vessels along an optimum blue LNG corridor to reduce port GHG emissions in Singapore

该项目旨在通过为液化天然气动力船舶开发碳捕获、利用和封存（CCUS）系统，减少海运业的温室气体（GHG）排放。2018年，国际海事组织（IMO）报告称，航运排放量占全球温室气体排放量的近3%，随着全球化的扩大，这一数字预计将爆炸式增长。新加坡是世界上第二繁忙的港口，为此作出了重大贡献。液化天然气（LNG）是船舶的清洁燃料选择，但仍然排放温室气体，尽管比传统燃料低。该项目由BPP技术服务有限公司（BPP-TECH）和SEATRIUM MARINE & DEEWATER TECHNOLOGY PTE共同参与。Ltd.（SMDTech）设计模块化机载后燃烧CCUS系统，该系统能够捕获和储存来自LNG动力船舶废气排放的CO2。该系统将采用新型材料作为溶剂/吸附剂，并采用先进的制造技术作为液化和储存设备。CCUS系统的工艺模型设计中将纳入一个能源管理系统，以考虑废热回收，提高其效率。此外，BPP-TECH将绘制蓝色液化天然气管道，以优化液化天然气动力船舶的加油时间和缓解拥堵，从而为新加坡港提供沿着清洁的空气质量。BPP-TECH和SMDTECH将进行一项全面的技术经济评估，其中包括新加坡政府最新的税收优惠政策和碳信用额，以支持船上开发的CCUS技术。该评估将有助于评估项目的成本和效益，包括其创收和减缓气候变化的潜力。采用该解决方案可以实现IMO 2030年海事行业温室气体排放减少30%的目标。BPP-TECH将利用其在流程设计、建模和模拟方面的专业知识，与新加坡合作伙伴SMDTECH建立共生关系，利用他们在造船业的专业知识。BPP-TECH将针对竞争对手的技术验证开发的技术，以评估其有效性并确定潜在的改进领域。该项目代表了一个创新和成熟的解决方案，可减少海上温室气体排放，并促进使用液化天然气作为替代燃料，具有显著的环境和经济效益。

This project aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the maritime industry by developing a carbon capture, utilisation, and sequestration (CCUS) system for LNG-powered vessels. In 2018, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) reported shipping emissions contributed nearly 3% of global GHG emissions, a figure that is projected to explode as globalisation expands. Singapore, the second busiest port in the world, contributes significantly to this. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a cleaner fuel option for ships, but still emits GHGs, albeit lower than traditional fuels.This project brings together BPP Technical Services Ltd ( BPP-TECH) and SEATRIUM MARINE & DEEPWATER TECHNOLOGY PTE. LTD. (SMDTech) for the design of a modular onboard post-combustion CCUS system capable of capturing and storing CO2 from exhaust emissions of LNG-powered ships. The system will utilise novel materials for the solvent/sorbent and advanced manufacturing techniques for the liquefaction and storage equipment. An energy management system will be incorporated into the process model design of the CCUS system to account for waste heat recovery, enhancing its efficiency.Additionally, BPP-TECH will be mapping Blue LNG Corridors to optimise the refuelling time and decongestion of LNG-powered vessels, thereby providing clean air quality along the Singapore Harbour. The corridors will include the review of the integrated port infrastructure capable of safely and efficiently offloading the captured CO2 emissions from the LNG-powered vessels.BPP-TECH and SMDTECH will conduct a comprehensive techno-economic assessment that includes the latest Singapore government tax incentives and carbon credits for the developed onboard CCUS technology. This assessment will help evaluate the costs and benefits of the project, including its potential for revenue generation and climate change mitigation.Adopting this solution could meet the IMO 2030 target of a 30% reduction in GHG emissions in the maritime industry. The project aims to support the logistics of offloading CO2 emissions, reducing overall costs for shipping companies.BPP-TECH will use their expertise in process design, modelling, and simulation in a symbiotic relationship with their Singaporean partner, SMDTECH, leveraging their expertise in the shipbuilding industry. BPP-TECH will validate the developed technology against rival technologies to assess its effectiveness and identify potential improvement areas. The validation will aid in strategising a marketing plan to allow rapid commercialisation of the technology.The project represents an innovative and mature solution for reducing maritime GHG emissions and promoting using LNG as an alternative fuel with significant environmental and economic benefits.
