5. Cost analysis
5.1 Comparison of pipeline (onshore) and LNG chain transportation costs
Pipeline costs vary almost linearly with distance, whereas LNG chain costs depend little on distance; costs are equal for a transport distance that depends on the quantities transported (table 3).
The specific cost of pipeline transport varies as the power (– 0.4) of the pipeline flow, whereas for the LNG chain it is barely a function of project size, and varies at most as the power (– 0.1) of size.
Note: We should also mention the use of submerged pipelines on the seabed. To date, only one Algerian gas pipeline has been built to transport gas to Italy via Tunisia: the pipeline is submerged all the way to Sicily. A project is currently...
