Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an industry that is receiving an increasing amount of attention as the world aims to reduce emissions and limit their impact on global warming. It is widely accepted that greenhouse gases are mainly responsible for global warming and one of the major culprits is carbon dioxide (CO₂).  CO₂ is emitted when burning fossil fuels for example for power generation, heavy industries (refineries, steel mills).

Transportation of captured CO₂ can be done through a pipeline or with the use of a vessel. When we first entered the market, there were few that saw the potential of using a ship but now a considerable market is opening up since more and more people are becoming aware of the complementarity of ship and pipeline CO2 transportation.

Although the industry is relatively new, Anthony Veder has been involved in the sector right from the start. Not only trough different research studies such as CO2Europipe (www.co2europipe.eu) and our active role in the Rotterdam Climate Initiative (RCI), but also with our extensive experience we have developed in operating our own dedicated CO2 vessel, the Coral Carbonic, for the past 10 years. This unique vessel was the first dedicated CO2 ship to be built worldwide and serves on of our clients active in the food industry.
