CO<sub>2</sub> Transportation with Pipelines - Model Analysis for Steady, Dynamic and Relief Simulation

“Carbon dioxide or CO2 capture and storage” (often defined by its acronym CCS) is the term used to describe a set of technologies aimed at capturing carbon dioxide emitted from industrial and energy-related sources before it enters the atmosphere, by compressing and injecting it underground in secur...
