Abstract
Embodiments of systems and methods for transporting liquefied gas and carbon dioxide (CO) in a dual-fluid vessel thereby minimizing transportation between locations are disclosed. In an embodiment, the dual-fluid vessel has an outer shell with an outer surface, an outer compartment within the outer shell configured to store liquefied gas, a bladder positioned within the outer compartment configured to store CO, and insulation positioned between the outer shell and the outer compartment to provide temperature regulation for the liquefied gas when positioned in the outer compartment and COin the bladder.
