Flexible CCS Pipeline Networks

This research will explore how CCS pipeline networks can react effectively to short, medium and long term variations in the availability and flow of CO₂ from capture plants, as well as responding to the constraints imposed on the system by the ability (or otherwise) of CO₂ storage facilities to accept variable flow. The work will develop relevant scenarios for modelling the likely variability of CO₂ flow in a CCS pipeline network, develop hydraulic models of CO₂ behaviour, engage stakeholders in the process through practitioner workshops, and deliver guidelines to the industry and other interested stakeholders.
