CEIC9951: CO2 Transportation via Ship and Pipeline Review

This literature review, submitted as part of the CEIC9951 Advanced Research Thesis, compares CO2 transportation via ship and pipeline. The study examines the importance of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in reducing CO2 emissions, highlighting the need for efficient transport methods. It delves into the advantages and disadvantages of both pipelines and ships, considering factors like distance, volume, and cost. The review explores pipeline design, including pressure, flow rates, and wall thickness, alongside ship design and unloading processes. It also addresses critical aspects like impurities in CO2 streams, corrosion protection, health and safety concerns, and the economic considerations of each transport method. The analysis includes discussions on liquefaction, scale, and relevant technologies, providing a comprehensive overview of the subject matter.
