CO2 transport systems development status of three large-scale European CCS de...Global CCS Institute
The European CCS Demonstration Project Network was pleased to present the webinar “CO2 transport systems development status of three large-scale European CCS demonstration projects with EEPR funding” on Thursday, 26 February 2014. This webinar, presented by Jens Hetland, PhD, addressed technical and operational aspects pertaining to the transport of CO2 in Europe. It covered lessons learnt from the development of three large-scale CCS demonstration projects: the UK-based Don Valley project, the Dutch ROAD project, and the Spanish Compostilla project. These projects have been members of the European CCS Demonstration project Network since its establishment by the European Commission in 2009, when they were all selected by the European Commission to receive funding under the European Energy Programme for Recovery (EEPR).
The purpose of the projects is to verify feasible capture techniques and to demonstrate geological storage options. As the distance and elevation of the CO2 transport system are inherently given by the project, the transport conditions for the CO2 will generally differ from one project to another.
The demonstration projects have shown that the thermophysical nature of CO2 is prone to complicate certain operational procedures mainly due to phenomena like phase change, hydrate formation and Joule-Thomson cooling. The front-end engineering design studies suggest, however, that the handling of CO2 is quite feasible during normal operation, although customised solutions may be required to handle transients like emergency shut-down and pipeline re-pressurisation. This implies that CO2 transport is not seen as an insuperable hurdle to the design and operation of large-scale CCS systems.
The document discusses two projects for transporting natural gas from Azerbaijan to Romania and Bulgaria. The Azerbaijan-Georgia-Romania Interconnector project (AGRI) would transport liquefied natural gas via tankers from Georgia to Romania, while the Azerbaijan-Georgia-Bulgaria project (AGBI) would transport compressed natural gas via tankers to Bulgaria. A cost analysis shows the AGBI project transporting compressed natural gas has lower total costs compared to the AGRI project transporting liquefied natural gas, though compressed natural gas tankers have higher investment costs than liquefied natural gas tankers.
The document discusses BMT TITRON's capabilities in compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) management technologies. It describes several CNG and LNG vessel designs ranging from 20MMscf to 250MMscf CNG carriers and 3,750m3 to 13,000m3 and up to 40,000m3 LNG carriers. It also mentions experience in bulk carriers, oil and gas processing, pipelines, and consulting. BMT TITRON works with major technology partners on vessel designs and systems to transport CNG and LNG by sea.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

for the „LBL“ - Lanžhot – Baumgarten-Line
Project Goal
Enhance security of supply by offering more flexibility in transportation
services available and by offering additional downstream transportation
possibilities for planned pipeline projects diversifying the existing pipeline
routes
Project Description
New gas line estimated DN 800 PN 7,35 MPa in section Lanžhot -
Baumgarten:
The length of the planned pipeline is approximately 60 km (46 km on
Austrian and 14 km on Czech territory) and is planned to cross the
border nearby the village Reintal.

11. Driver for cross border gas trading
Current regulations request intensified cooperation between adjacent TSOs
concerning allocation of cross border capacities, inter alia:
Gas Transmission Directive 715/2009
Framework Guidelines “Capacity Allocation Mechanism“ and „Gas Balancing Rules“
New German Gas Network access ordinance (GasNZV from 3.9.2010)
German “Festlegungsverfahren” for a Standard Capacity Contract
ONTRAS and NET4GAS therefore intend to further simplify cross border gas
transports by enhancing their cooperation aiming to meet traders needs
In facilitating closer cross border cooperation the TSOs are still bound to
existing national legal frameworks
In developing a cooperation model working across different frameworks
ONTRAS and NET4GAS aim to create a role model for Europe

17. Main obstacles for gas pipelines
investments to be addressed in the
Czech Republic and V4
• complicated easements rights and large number of land
owners (e.g. Hodonin 283 owners on 2,8km)
• Building permit not before all easements and land
plots are settled
• Large safety zones along gas pipelines (160 m on
both sides of the HP gas pipeline in the Czech Republic and
only 10 m in Germany
• Long process of EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment)

21. Conclusion
The 3rd package set the scene for a stronger SoS and stronger cooperation of TSO‘s
TSO‘s like NET4GAS are willing to invest and develop the markets if the investment climate is
predictable and strategic and not erratic like in previous years
Smaller initiatives by companies or countries like V4 are important to drive processes rather
then waiting for EU 27 to agree on everything – however a common vision of the target model
for gas markets is needed – political efforts towards a carbon free will block all investment
scenarios of private entities
The latest announcements of Mr. Öttinger are highly appreciated, however the commision and
the member states now need to act in a stringent and consitent manner
V4 is a good platform of countries with a similar history and issues to develop the relatively
young legal system - in particular the building and energy law and improve and accelerate the
investments in infrastructure (good reference is East Germany)
The huge investments need to be financed on the basis of the beneficiary gas user/customer
