Abstract

In this study, a techno–economic model was used to calculate the costs of CO 2 transport and specify the major equipment required for transport in order to demonstrate and implement CO 2 sequestration in the offshore sediments of South Korea. First, three different carbon capture and storage demonstration scenarios were set up involving the use of three CO 2 capture plants and one offshore storage site. Each transport scenario considered both the pipeline transport and ship transport options. The temperature and pressure conditions of CO 2 in each transport stage were determined from engineering and economic viewpoints, and the corresponding specifications and equipment costs were calculated. The transport costs for a 1 MtCO 2 /year transport rate were estimated to be US$33/tCO 2 and US$28/tCO 2 for a pipeline transport of ~530 km and ship transport of ~724 km, respectively. Through the economies of scale effect, the pipeline and ship transport costs for a transport rate of 3 MtCO 2 /year were reduced to approximately US$21/tCO 2 and US$23/tCO 2 , respectively. A CO 2 hub terminal did not significantly reduce the cost because of the short distance from the hub to the storage site and the small number of captured sources.
