Tackling impurities in CCS pipelines: An optimization-based approach

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is crucial for carbon neutrality, requiring efficient CO2 transport through pipelines. This study introduces an efficient optimization-based model for designing cost-optimal pipelines with a compressor-pump assembly and intermediate boosters, considering impurities s...

description Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is crucial for carbon neutrality, requiring efficient CO2 transport through pipelines. This study introduces an efficient optimization-based model for designing cost-optimal pipelines with a compressor-pump assembly and intermediate boosters, considering impurities such as Argon, Methane, hydrogen and Nitrogen, which impact stream density, pressure drop, and levelized transport costs (LCOCT). Impurities reduce throughput by 3.6 % and increase compression energy by 11 % (from 100.11 to 111.14 kWh/ton CO₂), accounting for 30 % of CCS equivalent energy. A penalty scheme (e.g., US'84/ton CO₂ for 4 % N₂) offsets impurity costs, highlighting the need for impurity control in efficient CCS deployment.
