ABS Awards AIP for Bumi Armada’s Pioneering Carbon Storage and Injection Vessel
(SINGAPORE) ABS has awarded Approval in Principle (AIP) for Bumi Armada’s pioneering design for a floating carbon storage and injection unit (FCSIU).
Bumi Armada’s FCSIU concept is a floating terminal capable of storing and injecting liquified carbon dioxide (LCO\2\) into depleted oil and gas fields or aquifers. This novel concept incorporates the ability to accept LCO\2\ deliveries in an offshore setting, the flexibility to manage LCO\2\ at low or medium pressure, the provision of LCO\2\ buffer storage and the preparation of LCO\2\ for sequestration - permanent storage of CO\
