Studie av koldioxidtransporter från CCS i västra Sverige

Sammanfattning: In an attempt to limit and reverse emissions, Carbon Capture and storage (CCS) emerges as an attractive alternative. CCS is a technology aimed at reducing carbon dioxide CO2 emissions from industrial facilities and power plants by capturing and storing carbon dioxide instead of releasing it into the atmosphere. The purpose of the project is to evaluate possible solutions for domestic transportation of captured carbon dioxide in western Sweden to the Port of Gothenburg. The study aims to examine different modes of transportation and their physical, logistical, and economic feasibility, as well as their environmental impact. The study includes the transportation modes of trains, trucks, pipelines, and maritime transport. The investigation and analysis cover costs, capacity, flexibility, and environmental impact. Scaling up, challenges, and obstacles that may affect the implementation of CCS transport are also explored. The study is conducted both quantitatively and qualitatively, where an individual study is presented focusing on Stora Enso (Skoghall) and Renova (S¨aven¨as). The work is primarily delimited to evaluating major emitters in western Sweden. The results show that the cheapest option with the lowest CO2 impact is transportation by rail. Pipelines are not seen as the most likely option in Sweden. Trucks are needed as a means of transportation where other infrastructure is not available. Maritime transport is a competitive alternative to rail for emitters with access to waterways.
