D5.2.3 Risks and safeguards: Ship Based Carbon Capture Systems utilizing chemical absorption

This report has been prepared to meet the EverLoNG project deliverable D5.2.3, which involves identifying common safeguards from the risk assessments. It also contributes to fulfilling D5.3, which entails summarising the learnings from Work Package 5 and disseminating the insights gained to relevant international regulatory bodies. The report builds upon previous deliverables and activities in WP5. The main safety hazards associated with an SBCC installation pertain to loss of containment in the chemical systems used during the CO2 capturing process and the hazards linked to loss of containment in systems employed for processing, storing, and off-loading captured CO2. The report addresses preventive and mitigating safety barriers that should be considered to reduce the frequency and consequences of hazardous events related to SBCC installations. The evaluation is based on a comprehensive assessment of hazardous events identified through multiple HAZIDsconducted in the EverLoNG project, which must be mitigated to ensure the safety of the ship and its crew.
