Pipeline transport oil-contaminated sediment and debris from the Kalamazoo River system. However, oil was still being found in affected waters in October 2012. Fossil fuels can be transported by pipeline, rail, truck, or ship, though natural gas requires compression or liquification to make vehicle transport economical.

Pipelines
Transalpine Pipeline It could be used to reverse the southern branch of the Druzhba pipeline to supply Slovakia. In Würmlach, Austria, the Adria-Wien Pipeline (AWP) branches off from the Transalpine Pipeline. It supplies the OMV refinery in Schwechat.

The diameter of the trunkline between Trieste and Ingolstadt is . Both sections starting from Ingolstadt are with in diameter. The pipeline has ten pumping stations.
