5. Transport of CO2

The CO ₂ is transported, sometimes over several hundred kilometers, to a geological storage site. Transporting CO ₂ poses no particular problems and is already commonly practiced. Transporting CO ₂ can be envisaged by tanker (road, rail or sea) or by pipeline, but the large volumes involved in a capture/storage scheme seem to favor the pipeline option for large-scale CO ₂ transport. New options are currently being investigated for CO ₂ transport, such as refrigerated transport by gas pipeline in the liquid phase, as well as transport by ship.
