“…This may involve underground storage, utilization in processes such as enhanced oil recovery, manufacturing applications, or even in the food and beverage industry for carbonation processes. The block diagram in Figure 1 illustrates the sequential steps involved in the transportation and utilization of CO2 [28]. To calculate the required compressor power to reach the critical pressure of CO , the following equation by McCollum and Ogden is used [29]:…”

Meeting Germany’s climate targets urgently demands substantial investment in renewable energies such as hydrogen, as well as tackling industrial CO2 emissions with a strong CO2 transport infrastructure. This is particularly crucial for CO2-heavy industries such as steel, cement, lime production, power plants, and chemical plants, given Germany’s ban on onshore storage. The CO2 transport network is essential for maintaining a circular economy by capturing, transporting, and either storing or utilizing CO2. This study fills gaps in CO2 pipeline transport research, examining pipeline diameters, costs, and pressure drop, and providing sensitivity analysis. Key findings show that the levelized cost of CO2 transport (LCO2T) ranges from 0.25 €/t to 55.82 €/t based on varying transport masses (1000 t/day to 25,000 t/day) and distances (25 km to 500 km), with compression costs pushing LCO2T to 33.21 €/t to 92.82 €/t. Analyzing eight pipeline diameters (150 mm to 500 mm) and the impact of CO2 flow temperature on pressure loss highlights the importance of selecting optimal pipeline sizes. Precise booster station placement is also crucial, as it significantly affects the total LCO2T. Exploring these areas can offer a more thorough understanding of the best strategies for developing cost-effective, efficient, and sustainable transport infrastructure.

“…CCS projects in general consist of three different processes: CO2 capture, transportation, and storage. For CO2 transportation, modeling of the flow in pipeline systems, including the relationships between pressure, density, flow velocity, phase stability, and temperature, is necessary [3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

CO2 emissions due to massive industrialization have led to several environmental issues. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is one of the most important technologies that can be used to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions worldwide. CCS projects mainly involve three processes: carbon capture, transportation, and storage. In the transportation process, the modeling of the flow in pipelines and the relationships between pressure, flow velocity, temperature, density, and phase stability are of significance. Orifice plates are a common tool used for flowrate measurements. Several standards provide the specifications and implementation approach for this type of equipment item in pipelines. In this study, flow through an orifice plate is simulated with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling software, namely ANSYS®, to obtain fluid pressure, velocity, and temperature profiles.Model geometry and fluid properties are defined that are suitable for making a comparison with ISO-5167 empirical correlations and a similar reference study, which are used to validate the simulation results. A mesh sensitivity analysis is conducted to ensure the correctness of the results. A reasonable agreement is found between the simulation results, empirical correlations, and previous studies. The Joule_Thompson cooling effect is also studied in this work for high-pressure CO2 cases, and the results show good agreement with reference studies.

“…Since the captured CO 2 must be stored in saline aquifers or depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs, there is the necessity to transport it from the capture source to a storage site. In the literature, many studies address the techno-economic aspects [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] as well as the safety aspects associated with CO 2 transport [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. In the U.S., CO 2 is transported since the 80s, and there are more than 8000 km of CO 2 pipelines currently in operations, mainly related to the enhanced oil recovery activities [19].…”

Risks and Safety of CO2 Transport via Pipeline: A Review of Risk Analysis and Modeling Approaches for Accidental Releases

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Carbon capture and storage is considered an effective mitigation strategy to reduce the most challenging emissions from heavy industries and gas processing. The safe transport of carbon dioxide via pipelines is an important aspect for developing large-scale Carbon Capture and Storage projects. Dispersion modeling for heavy gas such as carbon dioxide is considerably different from natural gas. The set up for modeling simulations is more challenging than conventional natural gas pipeline for several reasons, such as the differences in thermodynamics that must be considered. Moreover, when the carbon dioxide is transported in dense or liquid phase, the rapid phase changing, and possible consequent formation of solids should be considered. Finally, the equation of state required for accurate prediction of parameters is generally different than the ones applicable for natural gas. The main scope of this comprehensive review is to identify the most important parameters, critical events, suitable models, and identification of dispersion modeling issues. An extensive literature review of experiments conducted in the last ten years has been developed, experimental data, integral and simplified model, as well as CFD modeling issues has been identified and reported in the work proposed to highlight the advances and the gaps that could need further research activities.
