TRANSPORT

Compressed and captured high-purity CO2 is then transported to a facility where it is injected underground. CO2 exclusive pipelines, CO2 transport ships, tanker tracks with small load, and rail containers are used for CO2 transport.

In Japan, CO2 to be used for cleaning semiconductor platforms, carbonated drinks, dry ice, etc., are transported daily in CO2 tanker tracks and special vehicles.

Pipelines equipped for massive CO2 transport are used in other countries mainly as a part of oilfield facility designed to boost dwindling oil production. In US, 30 million tons of CO2 is transported annually for this purpose.

At the large-scale demonstration project, pipeline CO2 transport will be verified to ensure its safety.
