5. Cost analysis
5.1 Comparison of pipeline (onshore) and LNG chain transportation costs
Pipeline costs vary almost linearly with distance, whereas LNG chain costs depend little on distance; costs are equal for a transport distance that depends on the quantities transported (table 3 ).
The specific cost of pipeline transport varies as the power (– 0.4) of the pipeline flow, whereas for the LNG chain it is barely a function of project size, and varies at most as the power (– 0.1) of size.
Note: We should also mention the use of submerged pipelines on the seabed. To date, only one Algerian gas pipeline has been built to transport gas to Italy via Tunisia: the...
