Abstract
A method for providing cold energy to one or more industrial or commercial facilities from a liquid carbon dioxide receiving facility is provided. The method includes the steps of unloading liquid carbon dioxide to the receiving facility, storing liquid carbon dioxide in temporary storage, generating boil-off gas from the temporary storage due to heat ingress, pumping and heating liquid carbon dioxide for external use or permanent geologic storage, and utilizing at least some, and preferably substantially all, of the cold energy from the liquid carbon dioxide for cooling one or more processes in the one or more industrial or commercial facilities.
