Carbon Capture & CO₂ Detection Solutions
Reliable Infrared CO₂ Detection for Carbon Capture and Emissions Monitoring
Introduction: Why CO₂ Monitoring Matters in Carbon Capture
Accurate and reliable CO₂ detection is central to carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), biogas upgrading, and emissions monitoring. When CO₂ is left uncontrolled or measured imprecisely, it can limit the efficiency of carbon capture systems, lead to inaccurate emissions reporting, reduce the effectiveness of biogas upgrading, and even jeopardize compliance with tightening environmental regulations. For operators, dependable CO₂ monitoring is not only about meeting sustainability goals but also about ensuring process integrity, safety, and the credibility of carbon reduction initiatives.
Industry Challenges: Risks of Inadequate CO₂ Monitoring
Failure to accurately measure CO₂ levels in carbon capture and related processes creates several challenges:
- Process Inefficiency – Reduced capture and purification efficiency in CCUS and biogas systems
- Regulatory Compliance – Risk of failing to meet environmental reporting and carbon credit verification standards
- System Reliability – Performance issues caused by high humidity, harsh gases, or contaminants in process environments
- Operational Costs – Increased maintenance and potential downtime due to unreliable sensors
Without precise CO₂ detection, operators face higher costs, compliance risks, and reduced effectiveness of carbon reduction strategies.
