Summary
The aim of this special issue "Greening the Pipes: Achieving Sustainability in Pipeline Engineering" is to catalyze innovative research and solutions to develop low-carbon, energy efficient, and environmentally sustainable pipeline systems. The scope encompasses new technologies, materials, designs, construction methods, risk management, operations, maintenance, and disposal practices that can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of pipelines across the entire asset lifecycle.
This special issue calls for a holistic, system-level perspective to identify opportunities for improving sustainability across all pipeline engineering aspects including design, material selection, construction, energy use, operation, maintenance, risk management, and decommissioning. Contributions spanning multiple disciplines are strongly encouraged to address the multifaceted challenges in greening pipelines. Collaboration between diverse experts from pipeline engineering, materials science, construction, risk analysis and environmental engineering will be key to developing creative, sustainable concepts for next-generation green pipeline systems aligned with global climate goals.
Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to:
· Novel pipeline materials and coatings with enhanced durability and lower carbon footprint
· Energy efficiency improvements in compressors and pumps used in pipelines
· Greener construction equipment, methods and right-of-way management
· Advanced monitoring and leak detection technologies
· Nature-based solutions for risk management near pipelines
· Mitigating methane leaks and air emissions from pipelines
· Improving sustainability in pipeline maintenance and repairs
· End-of-life reuse, recycling and disposal of decommissioned pipelines
