JDP Supports Global Adoption of Carbon Capture Technology ABS and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd. (DSME) are to jointly develop designs for a 70,000 CBM very large, liquefied CO 2 (LCO2) carrier. The joint development project (JDP) is responding to the development of carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) technology, which will ultimately require larger vessels for CO 2 transport than those used in the existing food industry. "CCUS can play a role in reducing emissions in a range of industries, but the supply chain will need vessels capable of transporting CO 2 safely and efficiently. That's why this JDP with DSME is so important, not just for the maritime industry but for ambitions to reduce the carbon footprint of the entire global economy. ABS is proud to be able to use its industry-leading expertise in gas carriers to support development of these important vessels," said Patrick Ryan, ABS Senior Vice President, Global Engineering and Technology.
