1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements and recommendations for the transportation
of CO 2 streams from the capture site to the storage facility where it is primarily stored
in a geological formation or used for other purposes (e.g. for enhanced oil recovery
or CO 2 use).
This document applies to the transportation of CO 2 streams by
rigid metallic pipelines,
pipeline systems,
onshore and offshore pipelines for the transportation of CO 2 streams,
conversion of existing pipelines for the transportation of CO 2 streams, and
transportation of CO 2 streams in the gaseous and dense phases.
This document also includes aspects of CO 2 stream quality assurance, as well as converging CO 2 streams from different sources.
Health, safety and environment aspects specific to CO 2 transport and monitoring are also considered in this document.
Transportation of CO 2 via ship, rail or on road is not covered in this document.
