Good plant design for CO2 stream impurity measurement

As carbon capture and storage (CCS) moves from concept to large-scale deployment, ensuring the safe, efficient, and commercially viable operation of CO₂ transport and storage networks is critical. One of the key challenges facing this emerging sector is the accurate measurement of impurities in captured CO₂ streams—an essential step to safeguard infrastructure, meet regulatory standards, and support commercial agreements. This webinar relates to EI 3589 'Good plant design for CO2 stream impurity measurement'. The Good Practice Guide provides a comprehensive reference for developers, operators, and regulators. It outlines practical guidance on available and emerging technologies for measuring impurities—both on-line (real-time) and off-line (lab-based)—as well as insights into equipment selection, calibration standards, and the use of certified reference materials. The guideline covers: Overview of key impurities and their operational and chemical impacts Measurement ranges and performance requirements State-of-the-art analysis of available and near-future technologies Practical considerations for equipment validation and system design A prioritized roadmap for closing current gaps in measurement capability The guide is available at: https://www.energyinst.org/technical/...
