2 have entered into an agreement for the transfer of CO
2 to the Coda Terminal – a new CO
2 mineral storage terminal in Straumsvík, Iceland, according
mbl.is which quotes a press release from Carbfix.
The shipping company, which has decades of experience in transporting various types of gas at sea, will transport CO
2 on specially designed ships that run on environmentally friendly fuels. The carbon footprint from the shipping will be only about 3-6 percent of the CO
2 to be disposed of. The first ships are expected to start sailing to Iceland from Northern Europe in 2025.
