Abstract
Carbon dioxide gas collected from combustion exhaust gas or the like is transported in a liquefied gas state on the sea by means of ships up to a marine float installation provided with a throw-in pipe reaching to the deep sea, and then the liquefied carbon dioxide is thrown into the deep sea through the throw-in pipe.
Claims3
A method for discharging carbon dioxide into the deep sea, consisting of the steps of transporting carbon dioxide in a liquefied gas state on the sea by means of ships to a free floating marine float installation located offshore in the deep sea, and discharging the liquefied carbon dioxide into the deep sea through the lower end of a throw-in pipe reaching to a water depth of about 3,000 m at a distance of hundreds of meters above the sea bed, said pipe provided on a free floating marine float installation unattached to the sea bed and which pipe is always implemented to discharge the liquefied carbon dioxide into the deep sea.
A method according to clam 1 wherein the liquefied carbon dioxide, in a state close to its triple point, is transported on the sea.
A system for discharging liquefied carbon dioxide into the deep sea, comprising a liquefied gas transport ship for transporting liquefied carbon dioxide gas, and a free floating marine float installation unattached to the sea bed in which the liquefied carbon dioxide is transported thereto by means of said transport ship, said marine float installation being provided with a deep sea throw-in pipe reaching to a water depth of about 3,000 m, the lower end of which is positioned above the sea bed at a distance of hundreds of meters and which throw pipe is always implemented to discharge the liquefied carbon dioxide into the deep sea upon transfer thereto from said transport ship.
