D11.1 Potentials, concepts and improvements for inland CO2 transport systems

In this deliverable, we have aimed to shed light on the mechanisms driving the costs of CCS transport chains in order to guide and accelerate the development and implementation of CCS transport chains. The presented work has been divided into three parts, namely focusing on (i) deep-sea transport, (ii) inland transport, (iii) and the impact of impurities on transport.

Together, part I and II highlight that large-scale transport chains must be realized alongside large-scale capture and storage to drastically reduce the costs of CCS value chains. To enable costefficient large-scale transport, early deployment of pipeline networks and low-pressure shipping is important. Simultaneously, optimizing the content of non-condensable impurities in the CO2 mixture can reduce the costs across the CCS value chains. This can accelerate the deployment of large-scale CO2 capture, which makes accessible the quantities of CO2 necessary to further reduce the unitary costs of the CCS transport chains.
