Risk Assessment and Management for C02 Transportation Pipelines

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies are still in its initial stage in Malaysia
so the existence of C02 pipeline network relatively small which leads to the unadequate
understanding ofrisk associated with CO2 release. In this project, risk-based approaches
are used to evaluate the possible risks may occur when carbon dioxide (CO2) is
transported in pipelines from its source to desired destinations. There are two case
studies are presented. The first one is the risk analysis of CO2 pipeline network onshore
and the second one is about the comparison study of risk between the C02 and natural
gas pipeline in order to raise awareness ofthe order ofmagnitude ofCO2 risk.
It is found that C02 pipelinemay represent significantrisks once a large amount of C02
is released close to dense population. This project also proposes some mitigation
methods ofthe relevant risks regarding the current practices.
