MetCCUS
This project aims to develop metrological solutions for carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies, focusing on ensuring accurate measurements throughout the entire value chain to support sustainable industrial processes.
This project aims to develop metrological solutions for carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies, focusing on ensuring accurate measurements throughout the entire value chain to support sustainable industrial processes.
The Norwegian Metrology Service participates in the EU-funded MetCCUS project, which runs for three years from 2022.
As the name indicates, the project’s main focus is on metrology and measurement science related to carbon capture and storage (CCUS).
The project is divided into six work packages. All partners contribute to Work Packages 5 and 6, which focus on the dissemination of research results and project administration.
The Norwegian Metrology Service participates in Work Package 1, focusing on flow measurement of CO₂ in both gas and liquid phases. For gas-phase measurements, the project will contribute to establishing traceability in the measurement chain. A crucial aspect of addressing future climate challenges is the proper management of CO₂, ensuring it is collected and stored in permanent facilities, such as wells in the North Sea, rather than released into the atmosphere where it contributes to global warming. In this system, CO₂ becomes a measurable commodity, and the metrological quality of these measurements will be just as important as for measurements of energy carrier streams.
