Standards Development
This document specifies requirements and recommendations for the transportation of CO2 streams from the capture site to the
storage facility where it is primarily stored in a geological formation or used for other purposes (e.g. for EOR or CO2 use).
This document applies to the transportation of CO2 streams by:
— rigid metallic pipelines,
— pipeline systems,
— onshore and offshore pipelines for the transportation of CO2 streams,
— conversion of existing pipelines for the transportation of CO2 streams and
— transportation of CO2 streams in the gaseous and dense phases.
This document also includes aspects of CO2 stream quality assurance, as well as converging CO2 streams from different sources.
Health, safety and environment aspects specific to CO2 transport and monitoring are considered in this document.
This is a second New work item proposal to clarify that the object of the proposal is the second edition of ISO 27913 that will be
published in 2024. The FDIS has been approved 2024-08-07.
Germany proposes to adopt ISO 27913:2024 “Carbon dioxide capture, transportation and geological storage - Pipeline transportation
systems” as EN ISO 27913.
The 2016 edition has been revised under the active participation of Germany (Project lead), United Kingdom, Norway, Netherlands,
Denmark, USA, Japan, Australia.
Compared to the first edition (2016), the second edition (2024) contains the following main changes:
• The entire text has been editorially revised;
• Normative references have been updated;
• A chapter about CO2 stream flowrate and impurity measurement has been added;
•The level of impurities was limited to 5% and a set of 17 requirements are defined in the normative part to assure CO2 stream
pipeline integrity;
• An informative Annex A was added to show example compositions of CO2 streams for gaseous and dense phase CO2 streams
which fulfil the requirements of the normative part of this document;
• Annex D has adopted the latest findings in fracture arrest design;
• Annex F was added to describe decompression effects on pressure and temperature versus time.
