The seminar provides an overview of key parameters - like CO₂ specification and phase behaviour - relevant to the capture, transport and storage of CO₂ in pressurised form. Aspects of particular relevance to the cement industry will be highlighted.

The seminar is aimed at CO₂ experts and process engineers of cement companies as well as plant manufacturers and measurement technicians.

New technologies have been developed over the years to help meet Europe's climate change targets. CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) and CCU (Carbon Capture Utilisation) are topics that have become very important for the cement industry in a very short time. Requirements for the composition of CO₂ transported by ship, train or pipeline are of paramount importance for the safety of the transport systems and the phase behaviour of the CO₂. At the same time, these requirements determine the cost of the purification steps in the upstream chain. How to measure CO₂ flow and composition in transport systems is another issue that will be addressed during the seminar.

• Introduction to the topic – A brief look back and forward
• Physical properties of CO₂
• CO₂ transport by ship or train – latest developments
• CO₂ pipeline transport – drivers behind
• Need for further research - open discussion among participants
• CO₂ purification, conditioning and energy demand
• Measurement of CO₂ flow and composition
• Final discussion, next steps, EU CO₂ network integration - open discussion among participants

Start time: 9.00h CET / End time: app. 15.00 CET
