DNV establishes guidelines for CCUS pipelines
Standards will help with the construction of new infrastructure and repurposing of old pipelines
International standards body DNV has released new guidelines outlining the required safety level for pipelines transporting CO2 for carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) projects.
