Uncertainties in risk assessment of CO2 pipelines

Budget-type techno-economic model for onshore CO 2 pipeline transportation in China

“…CO 2 is harmful to human health and environmental safety when massive leakage occurs under certain terrain and wind conditions. Compared with natural gas pipelines, the safety distance between residential areas and CO 2 pipelines are longer, and the spacing of blocking valves is shorter (Duncan and Wang, 2014;Koornneef et al, 2010Koornneef et al, , 2009). The anti-corrosion measures of CO 2 pipelines differ from those of natural gas pipelines for various impurities.…”

“…Impurities in the CO 2 stream will also have consequences for the entire transport configuration, including the diameter, inlet pressure, and booster number. CO 2 pipelines should be laid farther from residential areas than natural gas pipelines because of high risks and dangers (Koornneef et al, 2009). Different assumptions on operating parameters, such as pressure, temperature, pressure drop, economical flow velocity, and others, will result in discrepancies across various models.…”

“…The current state of the art in the risk 58 analysis for CO 2 has recently been reviewed by some authors (Koornneef et al, 2009;Martynov et 59 al., 2013;Vianello et al, 2012). 60…”

“…The CO 2 handling is quite different and represents an emerging risk with usual QRA procedures 56 lacking some peculiar aspects like failure frequencies, heavy -gas dispersion modeling and 57 consequences estimation (Koornneef et al, 2010(Koornneef et al, , 2009). The current state of the art in the risk 58 analysis for CO 2 has recently been reviewed by some authors (Koornneef et al, 2009;Martynov et 59 al., 2013;Vianello et al, 2012).…”

Leakage Risk Assessment of CO2 Transportation by Pipeline at the Illinois Basin Decatur Project, Decatur, Illinois

“…A significant CO 2 transportation infrastructure has developed to meet this need. Altogether, 6,000 km of CO 2 pipelines are being operated in the USA primarily for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), transporting a total of more than 80 Mt y -1 of CO 2 (Koorneef et al, 2008). To make a comparison, in the USA there are over 2 Mkm of natural gas transportation pipelines and more than 250,000 km of hazardous liquid pipelines (anhydrous ammonia, crude oil, fuel oil, diesel fuel, condensate, gasoline and others) (Gale and Davison, 2004).…”
