CO2QUEST

Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) involving the capture of CO 2 from fossil fuel power plants followed by its pipeline transportation for geological storage is destined to play a major role in reducing the impact of global warming at least for the next three decades. However, the captured CO 2 will contain various types of impurities, and the cost of their removal prior to pipeline transportation will have a major impact on the economic viability of CCS... So far, most of the studies performed on the above topic have been limited in scope, primarily focusing on investigating the impact of the CO 2 stream impurities on each part of the CCS chain in isolation.This is a significant drawback given the markedly different sensitivities of the pipeline, wellbore materials and storage sites to the various CO 2 impurities.
