Ricardo has announced that it will join Project Skylark, a new partnership aimed at advancing safety standards for carbon dioxide (CO2) pipeline operations.
The initiative addresses the growing need for safe CO2 transport due to the increase in carbon capture, transportation and storage projects that support green energy production globally.
Project Skylark responds to the challenge of transporting increasing volumes of CO2 through extensive networks of onshore and offshore pipelines. These pipelines span a range of terrains, increasing the need for risk assessments to ensure safety.
Alongside DNV, the UK Government’s Health and Safety Executive, the National Centre for Atmospheric Science and the University of Arkansas, Ricardo will provide empirical data on CO2 behaviour in high-volume pipeline release scenarios. This data will be crucial for testing, validating and enhancing industry and academic modelling capabilities.
