Carbon dioxide is also expected to become an important maritime trade commodity to achieve climate targets. Through the deployment of carbon capture utilization and storage, and more recently, negative emission technologies, carbon dioxide will need to be transported to regions with the appropriate infrastructure and resources necessary for their anticipated implementation. Presently, in light of these circumstances, the lack of experience in shipping a number of these energy carriers and carbon dioxide must be addressed. As such, an understanding of the techno-economic and environmental feasibility of the large-scale shipping of these commodities must be established at all scales of operation. Accordingly, this work proposes the use of process systems engineering based approaches to enable the marine transportation of these future energy carriers and carbon dioxide from a multi-scale perspective.
