Abstracts of Presentations: 

Carbon Capture & Storage Health and Safety: Challenges and Opportunities 

Rosemary Whitbread - Health & Safety Laboratory 

Sound health and safety credentials will be vital to the CCS sector in securing public, investor and 

wider industrial/commercial confidence crucial to the successful introduction and expansion of this 

essentially unfamiliar technology. The process of identifying, managing and controlling hazards should 

not be regarded as a barrier hampering deployment but rather a process specifically designed to 

prevent and eliminate problems that might otherwise retard the transition to a radically new UK 

energy system. The challenge comes in managing the uncertainty that surrounds understanding the 

hazards and demonstrating good risk management in the absence of established standards and 

guidance for CCS. 

CO2RISKMAN JIP: New Industry Guidance on Major Accident Hazard Management of the CCS CO2 

Stream 


The presentation will introduce a new industry guidance developed through the CO2RISKMAN JIP to 

help CCS projects understand and manage their major accident hazard risks associated with handling 

very large quantities of impure CO2. The guidance covers the main links of the CCS chain (i.e. CO2 

capture plant, on and offshore pipelines, buffer storage, ship carriers, offshore injection platforms and 

injection wells) and provides foundation information for someone entering the CCS industry through 

to specific guidance on CO2 stream hazard identification, hazard assessment and hazard risk 

treatment. 

COOLTRANS: Introduction and Overview 

Julian Barnett - National Grid 

This talk will set the scene and give an overview of the COOLTRANS Research Programme. 

COOLTRANS: Fracture Control and the Design of Dense Phase CO2 Pipelines 

Andrew Cosham - Atkins 

This talk will explain the work undertaken to consider the specification of the pipe toughness required 

to prevent the possibility of long running fractures arising. It will cover the methods that are used to 

define toughness requirements in dense phase CO2 pipelines and highlight the need for experimental 

validation. 

COOLTRANS: Routeing Dense Phase CO2 Pipelines 

Phil Cleaver - GL Noble Denton 

This talk will consider the application of risk assessment in establishing the requirements for routeing 

dense phase pipelines. It will cover the reasons why a new approach has been developed and will 

explain how this approach could be used in practice. 

CO2PIPETRANS JIP: Introduction and Overview 


This presentation will give an overview of the CO2PIPETRANS Joint Industry Project (JIP). Phase 1 of 

the JIP resulted in the development and release of DNV-RP-J202, a recommended practice for the 

design and operation of CO2 pipelines. Phase 2 is on-going with the aim of filling identified 

knowledge gaps through experimental research funded by the JIP partners. DNV-RP-J202 will then be 

updated to reflect the improved knowledge. 


CO2PIPETRANS Work Package 1: CO2 Model Validation Data Collection and Public Sharing 


WP1 of the CO2PIPETRANS JIP has the goal of collecting and making available in the public domain 

suitable data that can be used for CO2 release model development and validation. The presentation 

will provide an overview of the work that has been undertaken at the Spadeadam test site to collect 

and share release and dispersion data from liquid and supercritical CO2 releases up to 150 bar and 

150°C through orifices up to a diameter of 25 mm. The presentation will also present details of pipe 

depressurisation tests that are due to be completed in November and much larger dispersion releases 

that are being planned for early next year. 

Using the CO2PIPETRANS Data: Phast Validation for CO2 Releases 

Henk Witlox - DNV Software 

This presentation will present and discuss the validation of discharge and subsequent atmospheric 

dispersion for pressurised CO2 releases using the consequence modelling package Phast based on 

experimental data shared by the CO2PIPETRANS JIP. 

CO2PIPETRANS Work Package 2: CO2 Pipeline Fracture Arrest Experiments 


DNV, through WP2 of the CO2PIPETRANS JIP is managing test site work that is undertaking 

propagating crack experiments to collect crack propagation data for CO2 pipelines. This presentation 

will provide an overview of the propagating crack experiments undertaken in Norway and will also 

give details of the further large scale work planned for next year. 

CO2PIPETRANS Work Package 3: CO2 Corrosion Experiments 


The objective of WP3 of the CO2PIPETRANS JIP is to determine the corrosion mechanism and the 

corrosion rate of carbon steel in liquid and supercritical phase CO2 with various amounts of impurities 

like O2, H2, SOx, NOx, and H2S with water present at 50 and 500 ppmv. A large number of autoclave 

experiments have been performed with various combinations of impurities and the results will help 

determine a safe operating window for CCS projects. The presentation will provide an update on 

progress of this work. 

CO2PipeHaz: Materials and Safety Considerations for CO2 Pipeline Transportation 

Haroun Mahgerefteh - University College London 

Pipelines are considered as the most reliable and cost effective way of transporting large amounts of 

CO2 over long distances for Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS). Given that CO2 is an asphyxiant 

at high concentrations the safety of CO2 pipelines is central to the public acceptability of CCS as a 

viable means of combating the impact of global warming. Factors affecting the accurate hazard and 

risk assessment of CO2 pipelines include corrosion, hydrate formation and propensity to fast running 

ductile and brittle factures. Special consideration is given to the impact of impurities in the CO2 stream 

captured using various technologies on the above hazards. Some recent progress concerning the 

knowledge gaps in the modelling of outflow and subsequent dispersion of CO2 following the 

accidental rupture of pressurised CO2 pipelines will be presented.
