Core Objectives
- Establish a firm background on CO2 transportation, to assist in implementing a feasible CCS system
- Evaluate and understand the effects of boundary conditions in CO2 capture, compression and injection unit blocks, to facilitate their sound integration
- Explore effective ways of transporting CO2 both in gaseous as well as dense phase within one or more networks, to achieve flexibility in CCS operationing
- Establish feasibility and operating characteristics of potential cluster networks connecting medium and large scale CO2 emitters to the sinks, to facilitate a region-wide CCS infrastructure
- Interpreting potential suggestions for future developments in CO2 transportation operating regulations including safety and sustainability considerations, where appropriate
Expected Deliverables
- Assessment of technical gaps in existing knowledge that can be used to analyse CO2 transportation
- Synthesis and simulation of a cost-effective integrated CO2 emitter, pipeline and storage system
- Analysis of interactions of the power plant, the CO2 capture unit, the compression stations and the injection well on one hand with the CO2 transportation infrastructure on the other hand
- Technical and economic evaluation of CO2 cluster network concepts (and other counterfactual cases such as point-to-point transport of CO2) to identify cost-effective approaches to CO2 transportation system design and operation
- Sound knowledge necessary for implementation of safe and environmentally sustainable CCS projects in the future
