Summary:This paper describes results of computer-based analyses of the dispersion of CO2 from pipelines or other containment vessels under a variety of conditions relevant to power plants fitted with Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS). A single methodology is proposed which will enable the prediction of a source term for a CO2 release from pipeline or storage vessel under gaseous, liquid and dense phase conditions. This methodology provides the source term input to a number of case studies of CO2 dispersion from a pipeline using both CFD and Gaussian-type dispersion models. The effects of solid CO2 formed within the dispersing jet on the subsequent dispersion and plume characteristics is investigated.
