CO2 pipelines

CO₂ pipelines are specialized pipelines used to transport carbon dioxide gas from sources like power plants or industrial facilities to storage sites or locations for reuse. They operate similarly to natural gas pipelines, but are designed to handle CO₂, often under high pressure. This process, part of carbon capture and storage (CCS), helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by preventing CO₂ from reaching the atmosphere. The pipelines are built with safety measures, corrosion protection, and monitoring systems to ensure secure and efficient transportation over long distances.
