No solution is perfect. During transport due to heat exchange the dry-ice will start to evaporate into gas form. No liquid will be formed as liquid CO₂ cannot exist at ambient preassure. However the evaporation is kept at a minimum due to the insulation in the container. It is expected that 0,2% will evaporate daily through the safety valve.

To minimize the risk of suffocating, procedures to transport and handle the CO₂ as cargo must be developed and applied. This goes for transport of CO₂ in any form, as gas, liquid or solid. This includes avoiding storing in enclosed areas, ban all access to for example cargo holds where CO₂ is transported. On a positive note CO₂ is neither flammable or explosive - on the contrary - and in solid form where CO₂ is kept at atmospheric pressure it is even safer.

None. A decarbonICE uses existing containers, existing logistics chains - the containers can be transported onboard normal containerships. We imagine feeder container vessels to be most suitable for this type of transport.

Ships, truck, trains exist for transporting containers

There are abundant shipping containers. These needs to be slightly modified for transportation of solid CO₂, insulation and safety valve

CO₂ capture systems are being implemented, like amine, cryogenic and membrane systems. The number of installations increases day by day.

Dry-ice machines exist as commercial off-the-shelf products. However size and production of these units needs to be scaled.

The re-liquification system exists only as a concept. System needs to be developed and properly tested.

Storage sites are being identified and approved globally. And the numbers are growing.

In short - the logistics chain for decarbonICE could be up and running on a short-to-medium time horizon.

Compare this to transport of liquid CO2. Ships has to be built (which are about 10-times more expensive than container ships). And pipelines has to be projected and laid down (imagine the number of landowners who needs to have a say).
