Abstract :
This paper introduces our R&D, which has been sponsored by JRTT and conducted by NMRI, of the most suitable floating platform for CO2 release in order to carry out CO2 storage on deep seabed (FPCS). FPCS requires, at first, large CO2 storage tanks in it and small motion characteristic to continue stable production and release of CO2 slurry via injection pipes into the sea and to carry out on-loading of CO2 liquid from CO2 shuttle tankers to the Platform in a considerably severe sea condition. We designed the hull shape twice. In addition, FPCS shall have a reliable mooring system, on-loading system, cooling compressors, slurry pumps, and large deck for process plant and utilities. We successfully completed the R&D including cost estimation of FPCS.
