5. Transport of CO2
The CO2 is transported, sometimes over several hundred kilometers, to a geological storage site. Transporting CO2 poses no particular problems and is already commonly practiced. Transporting CO2 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 CO2 transport. New options are currently being investigated for CO2 transport, such as refrigerated transport by gas pipeline in the liquid phase, as well as transport by ship.
Pipelines carrying CO2 are generally operated at high pressure to ensure high densities for optimum pipeline utilization.
For the needs of the oil industry, CO2...
