Carbon capture and storage – measurement issues at a critical phase

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) will present a number of fow measurement issues and challenges to industry when introduced under forthcoming legislation. A project is currently under way at TUV NEL to ensure timely solutions are in place to help industry make the best metering choices.

Emissions seminar to address reduction and measurement

Emissions measurement continues to be a major challenge for the offshore sector. As operators strive to meet the demanding EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) monitoring and reporting targets, at the same time they are putting in place combustion plant monitoring to satisfy the Offshore Combustion Regulations.

Emissions seminar brings industry together

TUV NEL’s inaugural Emissions Seminar, held inAberdeen recently,was a highly successful event and attracted a wide range of delegates from across the oil and gas sector and representatives from the World Bank Group’s Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership (GGFR). The event provided a focused opportunity at this crucial time for industry to share its experiences in controlling and reporting atmospheric emissions to meet the growing environmental legislative requirements.

A flare for measuring emissions

TUV NEL has been working closely with industry to examine the methods used to determine emissions from industrial flares and stacks,with the underpinning focus being on the difficulties and challenges associated with uncertainty assessment.

Emissions – dates for your diary!

Two emissions events coming up in June 2008

Flow measurement protects the environment

The application and importance of flow measurement cannot be underestimated when tackling environmental pollution. Its uses span from monitoring oil and produced water discharges to sea, to measuring greenhouse gas emissions to atmosphere.

New flare gas standard

TUV NEL’s expert on gas flow, Jeff Gibson, has recently drafted Energy Institute Guideline HM58 - The Determination of Flare Quantities from Upstream Oil and Gas Facilities.

Emissions Club gathers momentum

The Emissions Club is now well established, with members from energy production companies, research and test establishments, equipment manufacturers, suppliers and industry experts. The key objective of the Club is to provide assistance in tackling the issues associated with the measurement of greenhouse gas emissions.
