A research team of the University of Tokyo, headed by Professor Masahiko Ozaki, invented a shuttle transport system for carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) in which smaller ships are used to carry carbon dioxide (CO2) to storage sites. Compared with the conventional method in which pipelines are laid to storage sites, CO2 can be transported to sea areas further away from the coast with this system. This will allow more latitude in storage site selection, without worrying about the impact on fishing industries and port regulations.
