A gas transport system including a conduit (e.g., a pipeline) containing a feed of a gas at a first temperature and first pressure, a source of a refrigerant from an adsorption system in thermal communication with the conduit to cool the feed of gas to a reduced temperature, and at least one compressor to receive the cooled feed of gas and increase the amount of cooled feed of gas to a second pressure, in which the second pressure is greater than the first pressure. L'invention concerne un système de transport de gaz comprenant une conduite (telle qu'un pipeline) contenant une alimentation en gaz à une première température et une première pression, une source de réfrigérant d'un système d'adsorption en communication thermique avec la conduite afin de refroidir l'alimentation en gaz jusqu'à une température réduite, et au moins un compresseur recevant l'alimentation en gaz refroidie et augmentant la pression de la quantité d'alimentation en gaz refroidie jusqu'à une deuxième pression, la deuxième pression étant supérieure à la première pression.
