The University of Bologna (Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna) has conducted a significant study on the quantitative risk assessment (QRA) of the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) value chain, as part of the COREu EU Project (CO2 Routes Across Europe). This research is crucial for developing safe, efficient, and sustainable CO2 transportation networks across Europe, which are essential for achieving climate goals and ensuring a sustainable future.

Key Contributors and Publication The research team includes Valerio Cozzani, Federica Tamburini, Francesco Zanobetti, Mariasole Cipolletta, and Sarah Bonvicini. Their comprehensive review of data and tools for QRA in CCS technologies is published in the journal Process Safety and Environmental Protection. You can access the full article here.

Importance of the Study This study provides critical insights into the risks associated with the CCS value chain, offering data-driven methodologies to enhance the safety and reliability of CO2 transportation. Key findings include:

Risk Identification: Analysis of potential hazards in the CCS value chain. Data Utilization: Advanced modeling techniques to predict and mitigate risks. Safety Protocols: Recommendations for improving safety measures and emergency response strategies
