UNDERSTANDING CCS TRANSPORT - INTRODUCTION HOW IS CO TRANSPORTED?

Pipelines are – by capturing CO2 emissions before they can reach and are likely to continue to be – the most common the atmosphere or by removing historical emissions method of transporting the very large quantities of from the atmosphere. [...] Safely and reliably transporting CO2 from where it is Once the CO2 has been dried (to prevent corrosion) captured to a storage site is the second stage in the and meets the transportation criteria, the CO2 is carbon capture and storage (CCS) process. [...] CCS networks are sometimes referred except in the highly unlikely event that the release is to as the ‘hub and cluster’ model, describing the catastrophic – meaning very rapid and in extremely ‘clusters’ of emission sources and the ‘hub’ that high quantities. [...] In Canada, the Alberta Carbon Trunk Line (ACTL) project currently There is significant experience with CO2 pipeline transports CO2 from facilities in the Edmonton development and operation on land and under the region and stores it in depleted oil and gas fields sea. [...] In Norway, the Langskip (or Longship) operating in the US through over 8,000 km which project is developing the infrastructure to transport transport approximately 70 million tonnes of CO2 (via ships and a storage pipeline), inject, and store every year.
