The role of CO₂ in climate change has been a hot topic for a considerable time. UniBarge is anticipating future developments, and has begun construction of its first CO₂ inland vessels. Once operational, these inland barges equipped with the latest technology will safely and efficiently transport CO₂, thus making an active contribution to sustainable transportation and a cleaner future.
Transporting CO₂ by inland barge offers unique advantages over other methods, especially over longer distances. Inland barges can transport large quantities of CO₂ efficiently, making this a sustainable and cost-effective option. Moreover, waterborne transport is more environmentally friendly than by land, so ship transport has a vital role to play in the future of CO₂ management and storage. By transporting CO₂ via inland barges, we capitalise on these advantages and are committed to transport solutions with minimal environmental impact.
Safety is an essential during CO₂ transport. UniBarge is investing in advanced technologies to make sure this transport is safe and reliable. Our inland barges transporting CO₂ are equipped with pressure control, temperature regulation, and leak detection systems. These all help guarantee safe storage and transportation of CO₂. Our crew members receive extensive training in CO₂ transport, so that they can maintain safety in all situations. Thanks to these technologies, we are playing a key role in reliable and safe CO₂ transport.
CO₂ transport is essential in climate strategies designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Placing captured CO₂ in geological formations is a safe, long-term storage solution. CO₂ can also be reused in industrial processes, such as the production of synthetic fuels. By transporting CO₂ via inland barges, UniBarge is taking a step towards a future where CO₂ transport is an integral part of broader, eco-friendly solutions.
At UniBarge, we are committed to ensuring all our operations have a sustainable future. CO₂ transport is consistent with our sustainability vision and our engagement in innovative transportation solutions with low environmental impact. Our new CO₂ vessels are an important part of this vision, and reinforce our position as a leader in sustainable shipping. We are continually investing in technologies that help us reduce our environmental footprint and support climate goals.
