Abstract

The goal of limiting the global average temperature increase to well below 2°C above preindustrial levels, with efforts to restrict it to 1.5°C. With carbon dioxide constituting a significant portion of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, urgent measures are needed to address its impact on the environment. Despite challenges in transitioning from fossil fuel-based systems to non-fossil alternatives, CCS emerges as a crucial interim solution for reducing CO2 emissions while fossil fuels remain a substantial energy source CCS involves capturing CO2 from various industrial sources and securely storing and transporting it in depleted oil and gas fields, saline aquifers, and deep-sea sediments. The chapter delves into the economic models developed for the large-scale transportation of captured carbon through pipelines. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the thermodynamic properties of CO2 for pipeline transportation and presents an overview of factors influencing the design, construction, and operation of CCS infrastructure. Additionally, the review examines various economic models in the literature, discussing their implications for estimating the cost and design of CCS transportation. Noteworthy studies, such as those focusing on scalable infrastructure models and optimizing CO2 flows, are highlighted to underscore the significance of systematic planning for CCS infrastructure.
