HomeRequirements for safe and reliable CO2 transportation pipeline (SARCO2)
Final report
Publication metadata
The Carbon Capture Transportation and Sequestration approach is mandatory to reduce fossil fuel power plant CO2 emissions down to acceptable levels. Pipelines can efficiently transport supercritical CO2 but some specific issues have to be investigated due to specific nature of transported fluid. The general aim of this RFCS project was to develop specific requirements and design criteria of steel pipes for anthropogenic CO2 transportation pipeline systems. The specific programme objectives of this project are the following: to improve the know-how and experimental data about toughness requirements for steel pipes to control initiation and propagation event; to collect release dispersion data from a suddenly fractured pipeline; to improve existing safety and reliability predictive tools available on the public domain for natural gas onshore pipelines for tailored anthropogenic CO2 pipelines. A huge numerical and experimental testing campaign, including full-scale tests, has been carried out, that allowed to obtain relevant information to support the future development of guidelines and recommendation on CO2 transportation via pipeline. The project data permitted to have important information on the topics investigated in the project, in particular on: corrective factor for the evaluation of minimum toughness requirement to arrest the fracture; development of reliable models for predicting the CO2 dispersion around fractured CO2 pipeline; understanding of temperature and pressure evolution of leaked CO2 pipeline; corrosion and stress-corrosion behaviour of weld joints in CO2 environment All this information will supply a knowledge contribute for new revision of international standard on CO2 transportation (e.g. DNV-RP-J202).
