Carbon Footprint of Pipeline ProjectsResults1 KMThe amount of CO 2 produced by constructing 1 km of 48” pipeline is similar tothe amount of CO 2 caused by burning the gas that is stored under 80 bar in7.3 km of the same pipeline.Despite the fact that the majority of the emission is caused by the steel pipeproduction, the results give the construction industry valuable insights.24
