“…Coordination and development of an integrated CO 2 transport network are important for low-cost CCS implementation. An integrated approach to pipeline infrastructure offers the lowest average cost for operators over the life of the project if sufficient capacity utilization is achieved relatively early in the life of the pipeline ( 28 ). Across scenarios that we consider, the levelized cost of transport does not exceed $19/tCO 2 ( Fig.…”

SignificanceCarbon dioxide removal through the permanent sequestration of biogenic CO2 is a critical technique for climate change mitigation, but most bioenergy with carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technologies are technically immature or commercially unavailable. In contrast, examples of CCS of biogenic CO2 resulting from fermentation emissions already exist at scale. Here, we evaluate low-cost, commercially ready sequestration opportunities for existing biorefineries in the United States. We find that existing and proposed financial incentives suggest a substantial near-term opportunity to catalyze the growth of CCS infrastructure, improve the impacts of conventional biofuels, support development of carbon-negative biofuels, and satisfy low-carbon fuel policies.

“…Therefore, development of the multiple-diameter trunk line is crucial to implementation of CO 2 transport pipeline networks at a relevant scale [64,143,154]. Large-scale deployment of a CCS chain requires a reliable, safe and cost-efficient solution for transport of CO 2 from the capture facility to the permanent storage site [146]. The goal is to develop a CO 2 transport pipeline that will achieve the satisfactory performance level, while reducing the cost of CO 2 transport to a level acceptable to the operators.…”

“…It is claimed that to design an efficient CO 2 transport pipeline network, the distance between the CO 2 source and utilisation or storage site, network topology and CO 2 transportation mode must be considered [16,24,32,140,[143][144][145]. Several sources reported on the maximum distance before booster pump stations for repressurisation to both maintain the CO 2 stream in a supercritical phase and minimise the power requirement [62,86,143,[146][147][148][149].…”

Transport of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) via pipeline from the point of capture to a geologically suitable location for either sequestration or enhanced hydrocarbon recovery is a vital aspect of the carbon capture and storage (CCS) chain. This means of CO 2 transport has a number of advantages over other means of CO 2 transport, such as truck, rail, and ship. Pipelines ensure continuous transport of CO 2 from the capture point to the storage site, which is essential to transport the amount of CO 2 captured from the source facilities, such as fossil fuel power plants, operating in a continuous manner. Furthermore, using pipelines is regarded as more economical than other means of CO 2 transportThe greatest challenges of CO 2 transport via pipelines are related to integrity, flow assurance, capital and operating costs, and health, safety and environmental factors. Deployment of CCS pipeline projects is based either on point-to-point transport, in which case a specific source matches a specific storage point, or through the development of pipeline networks with a backbone CO 2 pipeline. In the latter case, the CO 2 streams, which are characterised by a varying impurity level and handled by the individual operators, are linked to the backbone CO 2 pipeline for further compression and transport. This may pose some additional challenges.This review involves a systematic evaluation of various challenges that delay the deployment of CO 2 pipeline transport and is based on an extensive survey of the literature. It is aimed at confidence-building in the technology and improving economics in the long run. Moreover, the knowledge gaps were identified, including lack of analyses on a holistic assessment of component impurities, corrosion consideration at the conceptual stage, the effect of elevation on CO 2 dense phase characteristics, permissible water levels in liquefied CO 2 , and commercial risks associated with project abandonment or cancellation resulting from high project capital and operating costs.2

Embedding CCS infrastructure into the European electricity system: A policy coordination problem Nadine Heitmann, Christine Bertram, and Daiju Narita Abstract: Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) has recently been receiving increasing recognition in policy debates. Various aspects of possible regulatory frameworks for its implementation are beginning to be discussed in Europe. One of the issues associated with the wide use of CCS is that it requires the establishment of a carbon dioxide (CO2) transport network, which could result in the spatial restructuring of power generation and transmission systems. This poses a significant coordination problem necessitating public planning and regulation. This paper reviews the recent literature on energy system modeling pertaining to the problem of installing CCS-related infrastructure throughout Europe and also discusses the policy issues that need to be addressed for a potential wide implementation of CCS in the next decades.
