Abstract
As the global community direct its focus on mitigating climate change, Carbon Dioxide emissions due to their contribution to global warming have gained significant attention. To address this issue, one of the main strategies that is in place is Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS). A critical part of this process is transportation of CO₂ for which pipelines are used owing to their efficiency, vast coverage, capacity and reliability. Although the hazards associated with CO₂ specially when it is subjected to changes in operating conditions needs extensive investigations into how it behaves and the risks associated with that. This research intends to thoroughly study and analyse the impact of these operating conditions on the dispersion behaviour of CO₂ in the event of a pipeline leak or rupture. Using software simulations with the focus on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) accompanied by real-life incident or existing experimental data this research aims to determine hazardous distances for a range of operating conditions. The expected outcome is a set of developed safety guidelines and operational recommendations. This is to ensure the well-being of communities that live near CO₂ pipelines and guiding the infrastructure towards sustainability and net-zero carbon emissions.
