Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is an important option for CO2mitigation and an optimized CO2pipeline transport system is necessary for large scale CCS implementation. In the present work, a hydrodynamic model for CO2pipeline transport was built up and the hydrodynamic performances of CO2pipeline as well as the impacts of multiple factors on pressure drop behavior along the pipeline were studied. Based on the model, an economic model was established to optimize the CO2pipeline transport system economically and to evaluate the unit transport cost of CO2pipeline in China. The hydrodynamic model results show that pipe diameter, soil temperature, and pipeline elevation change have significant influence on the pressure drop behavior of CO2in the pipeline. The design of pipeline system, including pipeline diameter and number of boosters etc., was optimized to achieve a lowest unit CO2transport cost. In regarding to the unit cost, when the transport flow rate and distance are between 1–5MtCO2/year and 100–500km, respectively, the unit CO2transport cost mainly lies between 0.1–0.6RMB/(tCO2km) and electricity consumption cost of the pipeline inlet compressor was found to take more than 60% of the total cost. The present work provides reference for CO2transport pipeline design and for feasibility evaluation of potential CCS projects in China.
