Pipeline transportation is considered as the primary mode of transporting CO2 for future carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects. The failure of such pipelines could lead to the release of a significant amount of inventory, which in high enough concentrations is toxic and presents a significant risk to life. To mitigate this hazard, emergency shutdown valves (ESDVs) are installed at regular intervals along the pipeline, to minimise the amount of inventory released in the event of failure. This paper presents a methodology and the required metrics for optimising valve spacing as a trade-off between the reduction in hazard against the cost of installation and maintenance.
