Abstract

In this work, the existing European and National institutional framework was briefly presented, from which the development of the process of capturing, using and storing carbon dioxide CO 2 - CCUS technology ( Capture Carbon Utilization and Storage ) - derives, in permanent underground storage locations, under the frameworks of the policy reducing the greenhouse gases. After a more general description of the process in question, and with the help of the existing literature, the ways of transporting CO 2 (pipelines, ships, trains) were presented. Then Maritime Transport of CO 2 was thoroughly analyzed, to its stages, as well as the required costs for its activation (e.g. capital costs, transport costs of the mentioned load, its transport conditions). It was finally assessed through comparisons the case that Maritime Transport of CO 2 is an advantageous mode of transport, today and in the future for the considered cargo. The results of a further comparison with the medium of pipelines were also reported and it was realized whether it is ultimately worthwhile for a shipping company to invest strategically in the emerging sector or not, taking into account today's data as well as the recent past. In addition, it was found that CO2 Maritime Transport can contribute in the future to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions since it can flexibly transport large volumes of pollutants over long distances for storage in geological formations. The major challenges that must be faced in the future, were highlighted, in order to start a steady developing course for the new Shipping sector, (such as the provisions of the London Protocol, the lack of experience in large-scale CO 2 transport projects, etc.) , by making it profitable. Finally, the opportunities were mentioned, both at the national and international level that could feed the emerging shipping sector so that it becomes more efficient both for its investors and for the strategy dealing with greenhouse pollutants, since only from the northern hemisphere of our planet , 85% of pollutants are emitted worldwide. In 2020 pollutants were estimated at 36 billion tons. With the continued research effort of countries such as Norway, the United Kingdom, China and South Korea, the results look promising.
