You are here: Home » The Global Status of CCS: 2010 » Transport
Wide deployment of CCS will require extensive transportation infrastructure. Just as pipeline systems have developed over time in the oil and gas sector, a significant share of CO2 capture and storage points for CCS will need to be interconnected though integrated pipeline networks. While transport technologies may be quite mature, significant investment and infrastructure development, as well as regulation and the broad introductions of standards are required to support deployment of commercial-scale CCS.
Over the next two weeks, we’ll be exploring the options, solutions and issues of CO2 transport. So join the Institute’s staff along with selected experts in CO2 transport as we bring further insights to the existing and emerging transport solutions for CCS.

Transport Campaign Round-up
Larry Hegan | 3 June 2011
Following the launch of the Global CCS Institute's Global Status of CCS: 2010 report, we have been running short campaigns around individual chapters. Since the launch we have focused on projects, costs, storage, public engagement and policy, legal and regulatory. The past fortnight we have focused on transport and as part of the campaign, we have hosted blog posts...
DNV talk about their work to develop recommended practice for CO2 transport
Angus Henderson | 3 June 2011
Angus Henderson speaks with Det Norske Veritas (DNV) about their work to establish recommended practice for CO2 transport as a part of developing a sustainable CCS industry. In order to speed up the deployment of CCS, Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and its partners have developed guidelines to bring industry and Government together to accelerate this work and make...
A large scale CO2 transport network for Yorkshire and Humber
Stephen Brown | 2 June 2011
Meeting the challenge of combating climate change presents opportunities as well as risks. Developing CCS at large scale is one of those opportunities. CO2Sense is currently a wholly owned arms length company of Yorkshire Forward, the regional development agency for the Yorkshire and Humber region of England, are working towards commercial independence....
4 questions for Barend van Engelenburg about Rotterdam's climate change efforts
Larry Hegan | 1 June 2011
Today I have interviewed Barend van Engelenburg, Senior Expert Energy from the DCMR Environmental Protection Agency, about Rotterdam and the city's efforts to meet the challenge of climate change. Q1: Rotterdam has an ambitious climate change goal and there is broad support from politicians through to industry. Could you explain why Rotterdam has that goal and why the...
Collie CO2 Hub project - An interview with Dominique van Gent
Larry Hegan | 31 May 2011
Today we will hear from Dominique van Gent, Coordinator of Carbon Strategy at the Western Australian Department of Mines and Petroleum. Dominique talks with us about the Collie-South West CO2 Hub project being developed in South-Western, Western Australia. The Collie project is a storage hub project to use shared pipeline infrastructure to collect emissions...
Guidance for onshore carbon capture installations and onshore pipelines
Angus Henderson | 30 May 2011
Whichever way you look at it, being able to provide credible data on the health and safety aspects of a new technology is critical to its development and commercial adoption. In that light, while carbon capture and storage (CCS) offers immense opportunities to reduce carbon emissions from industrial facilities, demonstrating that it can be safely implemented...
CO2 Transport – a different set of challenges
Per Arne Nilsson | 24 May 2011
Go to the City centre of Paris, New York or Beijing, ask three cab drivers – “How much does it cost?” and you may at best be asked, “Going where?” and “How many are you?”… unless you are taken in. There is not one generic answer to the question on the cost of carbon dioxide transport in the CCS context. Maybe the following could add some clarity to...
CO2 transportation - Networking pays off
Larry Hegan | 23 May 2011
Transport is often perceived as the forgotten cousin in the CCS chain (it doesn’t even warrant a letter in the acronym). Unlike capture and storage, CO2 pipelines are considered a ‘proven’ and commercialised technology. The Global CCS Institute’s Global Status of CCS: 2010 highlights that 5,900 kilometres of pipeline currently operate...
