Pipeline transport is the transportation of goods through a pipe. As for gases and liquids, any chemically stable substance can be sent through a pipeline. Therefore sewage, slurry, water, or even beer pipelines exist; but arguably the most valuable are those transporting fuels: natural gas, biofuels, crude oil, or petroleum products. (Wikipedia 2011)
