齐耀环保成功举办全球首个全流程船舶碳捕集系统案例分享研讨会
5月22日,中国船舶下属上海齐耀环保科技有限公司(以下简称“齐耀环保”)举办的全球首个全流程船舶碳捕集系统(OCCS)案例分享研讨会在香港圆满落幕。本次会议以“脱碳转型,共建绿色未来”为主题,逾50名来自船东、金租公司、船级社、高校等单位的航运业精英参加了研讨会,并发表专题演讲,共同商讨航运业在愈加严苛的碳排放法规下,如何利用OCCS技术达成船舶低碳、乃至零碳的目标,携手共建绿色航运之路。
齐耀环保董事贺志坚出席会议并致辞,他表示,作为秉持着“绿色低碳”的发展理念的科技公司,齐耀环保始终致力于从“燃料端”到“排气端”为客户提供全方位船舶温室气体及污染物协同减排解决方案。为此,齐耀环保开创性地提出船用碳捕集设计理念,为船舶绿色化转型提供新思路,并实现技术成果转化。本年初,齐耀环保取得重大应用突破,为长荣海运14000TEU集装箱船“长顶轮”成功加装脱硫+碳捕集系统,该系统涵盖二氧化碳吸收、分离、压缩再液化、存储全工艺流程,是全球首个全流程船舶碳捕集系统。
此次由齐耀环保为长顶轮设计的船舶碳捕集系统并非国产替代,而是全球首个全流程船舶碳捕集系统实船案例,这意味着,齐耀环保已成为了船用环保设备的“领跑者”,这不仅是齐耀环保的重大突破,也是中国船舶制造业的骄傲。
会上,齐耀环保市场部主任陈祖睿进一步介绍了该项目的实施细节。他指出,经过此次改造,“长顶轮”实现每年4.4万吨碳减排,其CII评级也提升至C级、船舶寿命延长至少12年。更值得注意的是,该项目改造总成本不到甲醇或氨燃料动力改造成本的一半,由此可见,碳捕集有可能是实现航运业大规模碳减排最经济实惠的技术路线。同时,陈主任补充道,齐耀环保为船上捕集到的二氧化碳的后续处理提供了一条可实施的路径。“长顶轮”于四月底在上海洋山港成功进行全球首次C型罐二氧化碳岸端卸载,成为了船用碳捕集产业闭环中里程碑式的案例。
来自法国BV船级社可持续发展中心的宋丹经理就船舶碳捕集技术的技术细节进行了分享,提供了来自船舶技术检验机构的专业见解。随后,香港科技大学李佳教授团队的专家刘老师为与会者带来了航运业全球减排政策的深入解读。香港城市大学王雪教授则就二氧化碳再利用的道路进行了最新科研成果介绍,指出了二氧化碳合成燃料技术的可行性和环境效益,为船舶碳捕集系统捕集的液态二氧化碳提供了封存之外更具商业潜力的处理方式。
随着世界形势风起云涌,海洋经济绿色低碳发展已成为全球经济发展的重要方向。未来,齐耀环保将继续深耕船舶环保装备,不断迭代升级、推陈出新,扩大全球服务网络,着力于为客户提供“广适用、高效率、低成本、优回报”的个性化碳捕集系统综合改造解决方案,为碧海蓝天、绿色航运贡献力量。
The World’s First Full Process Onboard Carbon Capture and Storage (OCCS) system Case Sharing Seminar, hosted by Shanghai QiYao Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. (QiYao Environ Tec), a subsidiary of CSSC, concluded successfully in Hong Kong on the evening of the 22nd of May. The seminar, themed “Sailing Towards A Greener Tomorrow”, attracted more than 50 elites from shipowners, financial leasing companies, classification societies, universities, and other institutions in the shipping industry. They attended the seminar, delivered remarkable speeches, and discussed the approach of utilizing OCCS to achieve low-carbon or even zero-carbon goals for ships under the increasingly stringent carbon emission regulations. Together, they aim to forge a path towards green shipping.
Mr Zhijian He, director of QiYao Environ Tec, attended the seminar and delivered a speech, stating that as a technology-oriented enterprise adhering to the belief of “green and low carbon ”, QiYao Environ Tec has always been committed to providing comprehensive solutions to greenhouse gas and pollutant reduction in ships, ranging from the “fuel side” to “exhaust side”, for clients. Accordingly, QiYao Environ Tec has pioneered the concept of OCCS, offered innovative ideas for the green transformation of shipping, and realized the commercialization of technological achievements. Early this year, QiYao Environ Tec achieved a significant breakthrough in application by applying a EGCs+OCCS system to the 14,000 TEU container vessel named EVER TOP from Evergreen. The system covers the whole process of carbon dioxide capture, separation, compression, liquefaction, and storage, making it the world’s first full process OCCS system.
The OCCS system designed by QiYao Environ Tec for EVER TOP is not a localized replacement, but rather the world’s first full process OCCS application. This signifies that QiYao Environ Tec has become a pioneer in marine environmental protection equipment, which is not only a major breakthrough for the company, but also the pride for China’s shipbuilding industry.
During the seminar, Mr Simon Chen, the director of the marketing department of QiYao Environ Tec, further introduced the implementation details of the project. He pointed out that after retrofitting, EVER TOP captures and reduces CO2 by 44,000 tons per year, improves CII rating to Class C, and extends the vessel’s service life by at least 12 years. What’s even more noteworthy is that the total cost of this retrofit project is less than half of the one for methanol or ammonia fuel supply system. This indicates that the technology of OCCS may be the most economical for achieving large-scale carbon reduction in the marine industry. Meanwhile, Mr Chen added that QiYao Environ Tec provides an implementable method for the subsequent treatment of captured CO2 as well. At the end of April, EVER TOP carried out the world's first C-tank carbon dioxide shore-side unloading at Shanghai Yangshan Port, a milestone closing the industrial chain for OCCS.
Mr Daniel Song from the Sustainability Center of Bureau Veritas (BV), a French classification society, shared more technical insights into OCCS technology, offering professional perspectives from a marine technical inspection agency. Later, the expert Miss Liu from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, a member of the team led by Professor Jia Li, took a deep dive into the global emission reduction policy for marine industry. And Professor Xue Wang from City University of Hong Kong presented the latest research findings on the reuse of carbon dioxide, highlighting the feasibility and environmental benefits of E-Fuel electrosynthesized from carbon dioxide. This brings a more commercially viable method of handling liquid carbon dioxide captured by OCCS beyond mere seal and storage.
With the rapid changing global trends, the sustainable and low-carbon development of the marine economy has emerged as a pivotal direction for global economic advancement. Qiyao Environ Tec is and will continue to deepen its research on marine environmental protection equipment, constantly iterating and upgrading, bringing forth the new from the old, expanding its global service network, and striving to provide customers with personalized solutions with OCCS system that are “widely applicable, efficient, low-cost, and high-return”. This commitment will help contribute to a bright future of the "blue sea and blue sky".
