Joint Industry Project Launch Meeting on Materials Performance in Liquid CO2 for Maritime Transport (MARCO2)
The deployment of liquid CO2 (LCO2) transport in the maritime sector is advancing rapidly in support of large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) developments; however, robust technical evidence required to ensure safe, reliable, and economically optimised shipboard storage and transport remains limited.
The MARCO2 project, which will be jointly led by Lloyds Register and TWI, offers a regulator-aligned, industry-led experimental programme to address the critical evidence gap limiting the deployment of carbon steels in low temperature/ low pressure liquid CO2 transport containment systems. The project integrates experimental testing of carbon steels in impurity-containing liquid CO2 under service-representative conditions with detailed electrochemical and post-exposure corrosion analysis.
A JIP workshop* will be held on 28 April 2026 to discuss and align the proposed project scope and value proposition, giving stakeholders the opportunity to contribute to its direction and expected outcomes.
*The workshop will be offered as a hybrid (online and in-person) event, giving attendees the opportunity to tour the TWI laboratories and state-of-the-art facilities.
