Project CAPTURED: Captured on a page!

The journey of the captured CO₂

𝘔𝘝 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘛𝘰𝘱 initiated OCCS capture operations after it left Port Klang, Malaysia
Ship-to-ship CO₂ transfer to 𝘔𝘝 𝘋𝘦𝘫𝘪𝘯 26 at Yangshan Port, China
Coastal transport to Zhoushan jetty; offloaded to a tank truck
Overland transport to Baotou, Inner Mongolia (~2,200 km)
Utilisation of CO₂ to produce low-carbon calcium carbonate in Baotou, Inner Mongolia

Why this matters

Capturing carbon is only one part of the carbon removal solution. For carbon capture solutions to be viable at scale, we must demonstrate how captured CO₂ can be safely handled, transported, and reused across jurisdictions and supply chains. This pilot shows that it’s possible.

Key technical and regulatory milestones

Reclassification of captured CO₂ from “hazardous waste” to “hazardous cargo” enabled its use as an industrial feedstock
Coordinated logistics across ports, jetties, and inland transport
Cross-sector collaboration spanning maritime, regulatory, industrial, and logistics partners

What’s next

GCMD will conduct a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to quantify GHG emissions for this pilot with CO₂ quality and quantity data obtained through sampling activities conducted throughout the pilot. A detailed report will follow, sharing challenges, key learnings, and enablers for future scaling. Stay tuned for updates!
