Sustainable Carbon Pathways: Balancing Safety and Efficiency in Anthropogenic CO2 Pipelines

Is your organisation looking to optimise the transport of captured CO2 from industrial sources? Discover how addressing the unique challenges of anthropogenic CO2 can transform your approach.

In the latest issue of Dar Magazine, Senior Energy Transition Consultant at Penspen, explores the intricacies of transporting anthropogenic CO2 – carbon dioxide emissions produced by human activities – for carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS). The article delves into the significant differences between natural and anthropogenic CO2, highlighting the challenges posed by contaminants in industrial CO2 streams. He also provides essential design considerations for CO2 pipelines, tackling issues such as hydrate formation, acid and salt formation, and material compatibility.

Read the full article on page 30 and gain valuable insights into effectively managing CO2 transport challenges and ensuring the integrity of your energy infrastructure.
