The world’s first ship-to-ship liquefied carbon dioxide transfer has successfully completed at the Yangshan Deep-Water Port in Shanghai

The transfer on 19 June, part of an end-to-end solution that includes onboard carbon capture, liquefaction, storage and ship-to-ship offloading to a carbon utilisation facility, represents a key step in overcoming longstanding port infrastructure challenges and highlights China’s focus on decarbonisation.

Shanghai aims to be a frontrunner in the bunkering, trading and certifying alternative marine fuels.
