Pipeline Corrosion Issues Related To Carbon Capture, Transportation And Storage
For the foreseeable future, fossil fuels will remain the dominant source of the world’s primary energy production. There is growing concern that the use of these carbon-based fuels produce greenhouse gases, principally carbon dioxide (CO-2), which adversely affects the global climate and environment. One way to mitigate the problem is to use carbon capture, transportation, and storage (CCTS) techniques and systems. The CCTS process involves capturing CO-2 from the atmosphere, compressing the gas, and transporting it to a long-term storage site. Transmission may be accomplished by pipelines, tankers, trains, trucks, compressed gas cylinders, as CO-2 hydrate, or as solid dry
