We report an atomic integral direct implementation of the approximate coupled cluster singles and doubles method CC2 for the triplet excitation energies of closed shell molecules. Employing an explicitly spin-coupled triplet excitation space we obtain a compact and efficient formulation which needs approximately the same operation count as required for singlet excitation energies. Compared to a spin orbital based approach this gives a reduction by a factor of 3. A basis set study employing basis sets with up to 432 functions is presented for the lowest excitations in benzene and the results are compared with other theoretical and experimental results.
