This document specifies the requirements and recommendations for the transportation of CO₂ 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 CO₂ use).

This document applies to the transportation of CO₂ streams by

—    

rigid metallic pipelines,

—    

pipeline systems,

—    

onshore and offshore pipelines for the transportation of CO₂ streams,

—    

conversion of existing pipelines for the transportation of CO₂ streams, and

—    

transportation of CO₂ streams in the gaseous and dense phases.

This document also includes aspects of CO₂ stream quality assurance, as well as converging CO₂ streams from different sources.

Health, safety and environment aspects specific to CO₂ transport and monitoring are also considered in this document.

Transportation of CO₂ via ship, rail or on road is not covered in this document.
