The transportation of captured carbon from production sites to a destination at which it can be stored or used traditionally requires the carbon to be carried into a tanker truck for road transport, which is costly. Disclosed embodiments eliminate or reduce this cost by compressing the captured carbon into an existing natural gas pipeline. The existing network of pipelines can then be used to transport the captured carbon to a distant destination, while potentially picking up additional captured carbon along the way. In addition, a portion of the captured carbon at each production site may be redirected back to the engine of the compressor to enable higher power density and prevent knocking.
