Carbon Collectors has received an approval in principle from Bureau Veritas for the CO2 barge-push tug combination including the offshore single point mooring system. This significant milestone indicates that the concept of CO2 transport and storage meets all international rules and regulations and is ready to be realized in practice as a solution to cut CO2 emissions.

Since November 2019 Carbon Collectors and it's partners have been working on the design and concept of the CO2 barge-push tug combination including the offshore single point mooring system. After the detailed engineering, the total concept has been deposited in the end of 2020 and now received approval in principle from Bureau Veritas.

By combining forces with industry’s leading technology providers, we are able to provide a solid service for transport and storage of significant amounts of CO2. This approval in principle gives us confidence that not only our solution works but that we are well on the way to realize our first projects.”
