English
This paper examines direct CO2 injection technologies, comparing options like floating storage injection units and tower loading units. It demonstrates significant cost savings by eliminating intermediate storage and long pipelines, and highlights the importance of selecting the optimal solution based on continuous vs. intermittent injection needs and site-specific factors such as wave height and water depth, thereby improving the economics of large-scale CCS projects.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本でもCCSはGX実現の鍵として位置づけられており、洋上CCSプロジェクトが進んでいる。直接注入技術は、国内の洋上貯留層への適用が期待されるが、本論文で示されたコスト削減効果や技術的課題の整理は、日本での導入検討に有益な示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
Globally, CCS is critical for hard-to-abate sectors, and cost reduction is a major barrier. Direct injection offers a pathway to slash CAPEX and OPEX, potentially accelerating CCS deployment worldwide. This paper provides a practical framework for project developers to evaluate injection options, which is highly relevant for the growing number of offshore CCS projects in Europe, North America, and Asia.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The energy transition is well underway with many countries and companies assessing options for CO2 sequestration. The CO2 value chain captures, transports, stores or utilises carbon dioxide from industrial sources. The value chain can include international shipping of CO2 as part of large volume transport and storage solutions. Traditional shipping of CO2 involves an intermediate storage solution (potentially located onshore) and a long pipeline to the injection site (potentially located offshore). Direct injection of CO2 is a novel solution involving sailing a vessel directly to a well site and thus removing intermediate storage and long distance pipelines. This paper will showcase the options available for direct injection and discuss the potential cost savings. Liquid CO2 (LCO2) can be directly injected using a floating storage injection unit, a floating injection unit, a tower loading unit or a catenary anchor leg mooring buoy. There is not a ‘one size fits all’ solution to direct LCO2 injection, and the chosen option requires careful project consideration: a key consideration is whether the project requires continuous injection into the well, or if intermittent injection is possible without imposing excessive stress on the wells during start-up and shut-down cycles. In addition, location-specific considerations, e.g., around wave height, water depth and power sources must be made in order to drive concept selection. Direct offshore injection has the potential to save significant capital and operational expenditure associated with intermediate storage and pipelines – unlocking a critical pathway for reducing the cost of large-scale decarbonisation. This paper investigates direct injection options through a cost benefit analysis, demonstrating potential solutions to improve the value of carbon capture and storage projects.
