Figure TS.6. Costs, plotted as US$/tCO2 transported against distance, for onshore pipelines, offshore pipelines and ship transport

Costs, plotted as US$/tCO2 transported against distance, for onshore pipelines, offshore pipelines and ship transport. Pipeline costs are given for a mass flow of 6 MtCO2 yr-1. Ship costs include intermediate storage facilities, harbour fees, fuel costs, and loading and unloading activities. Costs include also additional costs for liquefaction compared to compression.
