We are in the process of building the Green Pipeline, which will run from the end of our NEJD Pipeline near Donaldsonville, Louisiana, southeast of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, westward to our Hastings Field, south of Houston, Texas. The 320-mile pipeline is designed to transport both natural and man-made carbon dioxide (CO2). The CO2, a greenhouse gas, will be injected into oil reservoirs to recover additional crude oil from depleted fields. The US has limited methods to transport CO2. Denbury is currently installing the Green Pipeline to transport CO2 from both natural and manmade (anthropogenic) sources to petroleum reservoirs. We have currently entered into eight agreements with owners of potential sources of man-made CO2 and are in various stages of discussions with several other entities. To date, none of these potential industrial plants have started construction, so we are not certain that they will be built. Denbury plans to use this CO2 to recover oil that would not otherwise be economically produced. In addition to increased domestic oil production, our use of this CO2 will help reduce the release of this greenhouse gas into the earths atmosphere. FACTS ABOUT THE PIPELINE Size: 24 diameter pipeline Length: Approximately 320 miles (200 miles in Louisiana) Volume: Designed to transport up to 800 million standard cubic feet per day of carbon dioxide (CO2) Design and Operations: The pipeline has been designed to operate under the rules and regulation of the Department ...

Iran and Pakistan have signed a $7.5bn deal to build a pipeline that will transport massive quantities of natural gas between the two countries. Dubbed the "peace pipeline", the deal is expected to significantly improve ties between the countries. Al Jazeera spoke to Reza Amanat, a energy markets reporter, about the deal and how it will affect relations between Pakistan and Iran. [March 9, 2010]

A capsule carrying product is propelled through a pipeline using low pressure air. These pipelines can transport large quantities for long distances both horizontally and vertically at a very low operating cost and competitive capital cost. Cylindrical wheeled trucks or capsules are automatically loaded with ore, concentrate, coal, aggregate, then propelled through a pipeline to be automatically unloaded at the receiving end. Capsules are coupled together in trains, multiple trains run within the pipeline simultaneously so that the transport system is continuous. Multiple products can be transported in the same and opposite directions simultaneously without mixing, for the same very low operating cost. Learn more @ www.thornegrouptech.com

After a three-day visit to Saudi Arabia beginning 10 Feb 2009, Chinese President Hu Jintao started an Africa tour aimed at enhancing China's friendship with developing countries in the region. The trip, which was described as "a journey of friendship and cooperation", has taken him to Saudi Arabia, Mali, Senegal, Tanzania and Mauritius, and left Port Louis on 17 Feb. Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping left Beijing on 10 Feb for his six-nation tour, which includes Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil and Malta. China and Russia signed seven agreements on a package cooperation program for energy resources on 17 Feb. The agreements include a pipeline construction project, a long-term crude oil trading deal and a financing scheme between the China Development Bank and the Russia Oil Pipeline Transport Company. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao also met with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin at Zhongnanhai in Beijing, China on 17 Feb, 2009.

Concluding Remarks at Meeting on Social and Economic Development in the Siberian Federal District April 26, 2006 Tomsk Заключительное слово на совещании по вопросам социально-экономического развития субъектов Федерации Сибирского федерального округа 26 апреля 2006 года Томск PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN: Dear colleagues, I propose that we round up our discussions now. Everyone has spoken in considerable detail on all the problems facing the region. I will not repeat generalities about the importance of Siberia and the Far East much has already been said on this today. Everything has been said and we must now concentrate our efforts on other matters. We must now work together to draw up a system of measures that will enable us to develop as fully as possible the regions competitive advantages. These advantages are real and they are truly immense. In this work we need to balance three main development vectors: innovation, raw materials and infrastructure development. I would like to see us give increasing attention to the first of these vectors. But, as Governor [of Kemerovo Region] Tuleyev said today, even in the regions in Siberia and the Far East that have based their development over these last decades primarily on raw materials, our colleagues are already beginning to introduce new methods for developing these resources and developing their regions as a whole. This is because modern raw materials production and refining methods are directly linked to advanced technology ...

2008.03.11. Climate change will affect every type of transportation through rising sea levels, increased rainfall and surges from more intense storms, the National Research Council said in a report. The report cites five major areas of growing threat: — More heat waves, requiring load limits at hot-weather or high-altitude airports and causing thermal expansion of bridge joints and rail track deformities. — Rising sea levels and storm surges flooding coastal roadways, forcing evacuations, inundating airports and rail lines, flooding tunnels and eroding bridge bases. — More rainstorms, delaying air and ground traffic, flooding tunnels and railways, and eroding road, bridge and pipeline supports. — More frequent strong hurricanes, disrupting air and shipping service, blowing debris onto roads and damaging buildings. — Rising arctic temperatures thawing permafrost, resulting in road, railway and airport runway subsidence and potential pipeline failures. The nation's transportation system was built for local conditions based on historical weather data, but those data may no longer be reliable in the face of new weather extremes, the report warns.
