Energy Transport Infrastructure for a Decarbonized Economy

Energy Transport Infrastructure for a Decarbonized Economy evaluates the transportation of fluids required in the decarbonized energy economy. The book will help researchers, design manufacturers and those within government and academia to understand challenges and guide the design and development of systems, machinery, and infrastructure needed for the decarbonized energy economy. The book provides comprehensive insights on the implications of the energy transition to a critical aspect of commerce: the infrastructure central to energy transportation and the economy. This practical book highlights the unique systems central to the efficient transport of various forms of energy. After outlining the need for transporting energy, types of fluids used to transport energy, and various means of transportation, the book covers the importance of understanding the energy marketplace, global perspectives, then moves into transport of natural gas, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The work concludes with coverage of technology gaps, research and development, future trends, and solutions. Led by professionals with decades of industry experience and collecting insights from expert contributors, this book begins with the essentials of energy transport, provides detailed coverage of modes of transport, considers critical questions of energy supply and economics, and looks at long-term environmentally sensitive, sustainable options for the transport thereof. A powerful tool for the energy transition, Energy Transport Infrastructure for a Decarbonized Economy offers expert analysis on sustainable energy transport and its impact on our future. Focus on energy transport required for a decarbonized energy economyAdresses challenges of pipeline transport of hydrogen and carbon dioxide as well as new infrastructure needsProvides details on the layout, specifications, and technical requirements of systems required for the transportation of hydrogen, natural gas, and carbon dioxide
