Main Objective
The objective of the proposed study is to comprehensively characterize the expected compositional ranges and product quality specifications for upper and lower bound ranges for CO2 product streams derived from diverse sources, including ethanol production, cement manufacturing, power generation facilities, steel manufacturing, and direct air capture (DAC), with an emphasis on near-term emitters.
Public Abstract
The Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) at the University of North Dakota is partnering with Lamar University, with support from its Center for Midstream Management and Science, and support from industry, including the Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI) and American Petroleum Institute (API), to comprehensively characterize the expected compositional ranges and product quality specifications for upper and lower bound ranges for CO2 product streams derived from diverse sources, including ethanol production, cement manufacturing, power generation facilities, steel manufacturing, and direct air capture (DAC), with an emphasis on near-term emitters. The purpose of this project is to inform pipeline standards, identify any additional characterization knowledge gaps, provide insight on recommended practices, and deliver results through publications and presentations.
Anticipated Results: Results will provide a knowledge base that characterizes CO2 streams from various sources related to carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). The purpose is to inform pipeline standards, identify any additional characterization knowledge gaps, provide insight on recommended practices, and deliver results through publications and presentations.
Potential Impact on Safety: Results will help to fill a perceived knowledge gap in safety research for CO2 pipelines. The acquired data are important to material compatibility, flow behavior, blending strategies, compression, and operational safety.
