Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) is rapidly advancing worldwide as nations strive to meet ambitious carbon reduction targets by 2030 and achieve Net Zero emissions by 2050.
Major projects, such as the Gorgon CO2 Injection Project in Australia and the Northern Lights project in Norway, showcase global efforts to scale up CCUS technology. Government initiatives like the EU Emission Trading System (ETS) aim to incentivise CO2 capture and secure storage.
However, the diversity of industries and capture methods results in CO2 streams with varying impurities, which can jeopardise pipeline integrity over time. Accurate monitoring of these impurities is essential to ensure long-term pipeline safety and to precisely calculate the total mass of CO2 sequestered.
“CO2 purity is a key issue for all operators and maintaining pipeline integrity and accurate monitoring are absolutely essential to commercial viability and ensuring market confidence,” said Dominic Ellis, Editor at gasworld Global.
