| Zusammenfassung |
| The burning of Fossil fuels is the main contributor to climate change.
At the same time, fossil fuels drive economic growth,and global demand is likely to remain high for years to come. But the amount of CO2 and other greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere by major emitters such as coal-fired power plants, oil rafineries,steel mills and cement plants will continue to be so massive that society needs to come up with additional methods to reduce atmospheric CO2 levels. One such method is called Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), which involves capturing CO2 from coal-fired power plants etc., transporting the CO2, and storing it in a storage site such as a depleting offshore oil field. Currently pipelining is the solution to transport the voluminous CO2 emissions from large power plants. In the frame of the CO2-process chain the material transport through pipelines, elbows and complex geometries of the CCS-process chain is playing a central role. |
