ISO 27913:2024
Carbon dioxide capture, transportation and geological storage - Pipeline transportation systems
This document specifies the requirements and recommendations for the transportation of CO2 streams from the capture site to the storage facility where it is primarily stored in a geological formation or used for other purposes (e.g. for enhanced oil recovery or CO2 use).This document applies to the transportation of CO2 streams by— rigid metallic pipelines,— pipeline systems,— onshore and offshore pipelines for the transportation of CO2 streams,— conversion of existing pipelines for the transportation of CO2 streams, and— transportation of CO2 streams in the gaseous and dense phases.This document also includes aspects of CO2 stream quality assurance, as well as converging CO2 streams from different sources.Health, safety and environment aspects specific to CO2 transport and monitoring are also considered in this document.Transportation of CO2 via ship, rail or on road is not covered in this document.
This document specifies the requirements and recommendations for the transportation of CO2 streams from the capture site to the storage facility where it is primarily stored in a geological formation or used for other purposes (e.g. for enhanced oil recovery or CO2 use).
This document applies to the transportation of CO2 streams by
— rigid metallic pipelines,
— pipeline systems,
— onshore and offshore pipelines for the transportation of CO2 streams,
— conversion of existing pipelines for the transportation of CO2 streams, and
— transportation of CO2 streams in the gaseous and dense phases.
This document also includes aspects of CO2 stream quality assurance, as well as converging CO2 streams from different sources.
Health, safety and environment aspects specific to CO2 transport and monitoring are also considered in this document.
Transportation of CO2 via ship, rail or on road is not covered in this document.
ISO 27913:2016 specifies additional requirements and recommendations not covered in existing pipeline standards for the transportation of CO2 streams from the capture site to the storage facility where it is primarily stored in a geological formation or used for other purposes (e.g. for EOR or CO2 use). ISO 27913:2016 applies to - rigid metallic pipelines, - pipeline systems, - onshore and offshore pipelines for the transportation of CO2 streams, - conversion of existing pipelines for the transportation of CO2 streams, - pipeline transportation of CO2 streams for storage or utilization, and - transportation of CO2 in the gaseous and dense phases. The system boundary (see Figure 1) between capture and transportation is the point at the inlet valve of the pipeline, where the composition, temperature and pressure of the CO2 stream is within a certain specified range by the capture process or processes to meet the requirements for transportation as described in this document. The boundary between transportation and storage is the point where the CO2 stream leaves the transportation pipeline infrastructure and enters the storage infrastructure. ISO 27913:2016 also includes aspects of CO2 stream quality assurance, as well as converging CO2 streams from different sources. Health, safety and environment aspects specific to CO2 transport and monitoring are considered.
The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

At a glance, you will be able to identify the additions, deletions or modifications to a text, table, figure and formula.
