Tankers to sail off with carbon waste - Times Online
THE global fight against climate change could lead to the creation of [an insane] new market: carbon-dioxide shipping.
The world’s biggest cargo carriers, including Maersk and IM Skaugen, have begun talks with power companies in Britain and Europe that could see them build new fleets of tankers specially made to transport the greenhouse gas captured from clean-coal power stations.
...
Today there are only four tankers in the world that are purpose-built for shipping carbon dioxide. These are all owned by Coca-Cola, which uses the greenhouse gas to put the fizz in its drinks. Skaugen recently had six ships certified for carbon-dioxide transport, the first large tankers to earn that qualification.
