CO2 CAPTURING ON BOARDLNG-FUELED VESSELS

INTRODUCTION CONOSHIP INTERNATIONAL
CO2 Capturing on board LNG Fueled vessels08-03-2021 2
Conoship Int. , Groningen, Netherlands• Ship Design office started 1952• > 2000 vessels built of our design• Focus R&D: eCONOmy & eCOlogy
▪ Reduction of fuel & emissions▪ Propulsion on LNG/MeOH/H2▪ Wind Assisted Ship Propulsion▪ CO2 capturing on boardPractical applicable innovations
08-03-2021 CO2 Capturing on board LNG Fueled vessels 3
Capturing CO2: • proven technology• land-based plants: • size/weight/roll&pitch-effects?
Storing CO2 on board:• Liquid: -20 C @ 20 bar in tank(/-
containers)• Energy for cooling? => cool CO2
with LNG
CHALLENGES: CAPTURING & STORING CO2 ON BOARD
08-03-2021 CO2 Capturing on board LNG Fueled vessels 5
CO2 CAPTURE ON LNG VESSEL + LIQUIFY CO2 WITH LNG
Combining carbon capture
with LNG:
• Exhaust gases from LNG
contain little contaminants
(SOx, NOx, particulate matter)
=> less complicated capture
• CO2 needs cooling to be
stored: LNG is a cold source
- 163 C -> -20 C @ 20 bar
or -50 C @ 8 bar

2019~2021 FEASIBILITY STUDIES ON-BOARD APPLICATION
Fossile LNG => ~ 85% Methane = CH4
CH4 in LNG-engine: => CO2 + H20Capture CO2 on board + liquify +
store in CO2 tank (-containers)Unload & store in empty offshore gasfields f.e. NorhternLightsFulfil UN SDG 13 ‘Climate Action’!
Future: sell tankcontainers CO2…
LNG-FUELED VESSELS & CO2-CAPTURING~ CLOSED CARBON LOOP

Future: tankcontainers liquid CO2 => feedstockfor ‘synthetic E-Fuels’Windenergy -> clean E-power -> ‘green’H2 H2 + CO2 -> CH4 + H2O (Sabatier proces)Example E-Fuel CH4 = synthetic Methane=> liquifying => LSM ready to fuel LNG-vessel
Actual LNG fueled vessels can be CO2-neutralin future with Ship Based Carbon Capture

Financing Alternatives for LNG Retrofits, 08.03.2021, Marine Fuels Webinar Week 2
Challenges
LNG Retrofit Financing
Second lien financing
is difficult and expensive.
High investments
for LNG retrofitsneeded.
There are fewbanks
that finance vessel retrofits.
Usually existingship finance
mortgage on thevessel to be
intended for a retrofit.
LNG Retrofit Financing
?
Upsizing of Existing Facility
+ Can be done by existing
lenders
- Banks reluctant due to
higher LTV
Secured Loan
+ Typical ship finance
structure (mortgages from
other vessels)
- Provision of mortgage
Unsecured Loan
+ No provision of security
- Expensive
- Only acceptable for top
notch ship owners
- Normally 2-3 years tenor
ECA Covered Loan
+ Longer tenors possible
+ Potentially no provision of
mortgages needed
+ Bigger bank appetite
- Slightly longer execution
