Abstract

This chapter presents an analysis of the hazards and risk related to CO2 transport from power plants to potential storage sites. Potential hazardous effects of an uncontrollable release of CO2 caused by a pipeline failure are shown and the risk level in areas surrounding the pipeline is determined. It also presents a probabilistic model of corrosion wear of the pipeline walls and an assessment of the rise in the gas leakage probability. An analysis of the possibility of reducing the level risk related to pipeline transporting CO2 by means safety valves is also presented.
