Following Ohio Derailment, Concerns Arise Over Expansion of Rail and Pipeline Transport of Hazardous Material

By Dana Drugmand, DeSmog (March 7, 2023)

“‘There are little to no regulations around appropriate siting, limiting dangerous and corrosive impurities, or building the pipelines to withstand the unique properties of transporting high pressure CO2,’ Pipeline Safety Trust executive director Bill Caram said in a press release accompanying the report. Furthermore, existing PHMSA regulations only apply to CO2 of more than 90 percent purity and transported in a supercritical state, meaning it has some properties of a gas and some of a liquid. Pipelines carrying CO2 in a gaseous or liquid state with less than 90 percent purity are completely unregulated, Pipeline Safety Trust says.”
