A unified Recommended Practice (RP) for safe and reliable design, construction, testing, operation and maintenance of steel pipelines for transmission of CO_2 has been developed through the CO_2PIPETRANS Joint Industry Project (JIP).Particular challenges related to CO_2 streams as a medium are identified and guidance's provided to meet these challenges both considering compliance with the pipeline standards and issues related to public acceptance and safety.The RP applies to pipelines for large scale transmission of CO_2 and is intended as a supplement to existing recognized standards for both onshore and submarine pipelines.
