The purpose of this report is to provide a general assessment of the current state of the art in freight pipeline technology. A preliminary feasibility study was undertaken to evaluate the potential of applying this technology, as an innovation in providing freight transportation services. Topics discussed in the report include the following: Historical background; General pipeline systems information; Calculation of energy requirements; System characteristics; Overview of the future. The scope of the research on which this report is based, was limited to those classes of generic pipeline technologies that are relevant for transporting solid products via freight pipelines. For this reason, the discussion in this report does not include oil, gas, or water pipelines which are already well established technologies.
