Abstract
Reliable, safe and economic CO₂ transport from CO₂ capture points to long term storage/enhanced oil recovery (EOR) sites is critical for commercial deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. Pipeline transportation of CO₂ is considered most feasible. However, in CCS applications there is concern about associated impurities and huge volumes of high pressure CO₂ transported over distances likely to be densely populated areas. On this basis, there is limited experience for design and economic assessment of CO₂ pipeline. The Humber region in the UK is a likely site for building CO₂ pipelines in the future due to large CO₂ emissions in the region and its close access to depleted gas fields and saline aquifers beneath the North Sea. In this paper, various issues to be considered in CO₂ pipeline design for CCS applications are discussed. Also, different techno-economic correlations for CO₂ pipelines are assessed using the Humber region as case study. Levelized cost of CO₂ pipelines calculated for the region range from 0.14 to 0.75 GBP per tonne of CO₂. This is a preliminary study and is useful for obtaining quick techno-economic assessment of CO₂ pipelines.
