Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Planning for the deployment of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS), infrastructure must consider numerous uncertainties regarding where and how much CO₂ is produced and where captured CO₂ can be geologically stored. We used the <italic>SimCCS</italic> engineering‐economic geospatial optimization models to determine the characteristics of CCS deployment in France and corridors for pipelines that are robust to <italic>a priori</italic> uncertainty in CO₂ production from industrial sources and CO₂ storage locations. We found a number of stable routes that are robust to these uncertainties, and thus can provide early options for pipeline planning and rights‐of‐way acquisition.</p> </abstract>
