Monitoring, reporting, and verification (#MRV) refers to the multistep process to quantify the amount of CO₂ removed by a CO₂ removal (#CDR) activity. As part of the newly published Best Practices Guide to Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) Research, my coauthors (Laurent Bopp, Jaime Palter, Matthew Long, Philip Boyd, Griet Neukermans, and Lennart Bach) and I make recommendations for MRV for Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (#OAE) research, arguing that it has an obligation for comprehensiveness, reproducibility, and transparency, as it may become the foundation for assessing large-scale deployment. We discuss what MRV is in the context of OAE, the specificities of MRV for marine CDR, observation and model based techniques for MRV and their limitations, and propose a way forward based on both observations and modeling. Finally, we make the following recommendations for best practices. https://lnkd.in/gpuSu-wH

New article published for the better understanding of the N2O emissions from the nitrogen removal in bioreactors. Similarly to CH4 gas emissions, this topic has gone quite unnoticed in the water sector, but it will become much more relevant in a near future since the new Urban European Wastewater Directive seems to extend N-requierements to the biggest facilities, which will have a more relevant impact to be calculated. In this paper, we developed an innovative ASM-N2O CFD model calibrated with experimental measurements in a full-scale bioreactor to calculate N2O gas emissions. Thanks to Rica Yuge Qiu for the huge work developed during last years in her PhD, and to all the co-authors, speacially Benedek Plósz, the promoter behind all this. #CFD_modelling #Wastewater_treatment #greenhouse_gas_emissions https://lnkd.in/dKGxNRyD

🔍 Embracing Proven Methods in Environmental Monitoring! 🌿 Revisiting the renowned “Hydrocarbon Index – an algorithm for hyperspectral detection of hydrocarbons,” a pivotal work in hyperspectral imaging. This established algorithm is not just a tool for detecting hydrocarbons but also plays a critical role in environmental conservation, particularly in identifying oil spills and other environmental hazards. 💡 The HI’s ability to pinpoint hydrocarbon-specific spectral features allows for quick and accurate detection of oil spills, aiding in timely response and mitigation efforts. It’s a testament to how classic techniques can provide ongoing benefits in our fight against environmental challenges. 🌍 For experts in remote sensing, environmental sciences, and the oil & gas industry, this paper is a valuable resource, demonstrating the lasting impact of innovative technologies in protecting our planet. #HyperspectralImaging #EnvironmentalConservation #OilSpillDetection #RemoteSensing #Hydrocarbons

🚀 Hydrogen Technology News! 🌊⚡ The proposal on Accelerated Stress Testing (AST) protocols for Low-Temperature Water Electrolyser (LTWE) is published! This document outlines protocols designed to assess the performance degradation of LTWE stacks. These stacks play a crucial role in generating large quantities of clean hydrogen through water electrolysis, powered primarily by renewable energy sources. 💧💡 With these protocols in hand, researchers and industry leaders can effectively evaluate the performance degradation of different LTWEL technologies, including: 1️⃣ Alkaline Water Electrolysis (AEL) in an Alkaline Water Electrolyser (AWE) 2️⃣ Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis (AEMEL) in an Anion Exchange Polymer Membrane Water Electrolyser (AEMWE) 3️⃣ Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis (PEMEL) in a Proton Exchange Polymer Membrane Water Electrolyser (PEMWE) Use the insights for 🔍 Evaluating Research and Development (R&D) progress 🎯 Setting Research and Innovation (R&I) priorities with cost targets, development milestones, and technological benchmarks 🤝 Making informed decisions regarding technology selection.

Great work by the Curtin University team of Roman Pevzner and Boris Gurevich who collaborated with CO2CRC Limited's Hadi Nourollah to have their paper published in the International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control. The paper titled, 'Feasibility of targeted active seismic monitoring of geological carbon storage using refracted waves', puts forward a methodology that can verify leakage (or lack of it) with minimal seismic activity. The proposed method is an economic alternative to full time-lapse seismic mapping of the #CO2 plume to demonstrate “conformance”. It has potential application for hard-to-access #CCS sites such as near shore areas. CO2CRC, in collaboration with research partners, intend to verify the feasibility study in the field, in the upcoming shallow fault project. Our mission is to accelerate the rollout of CCS as a means to materially reduce industrial CO2 emissions. Read the full paper - https://lnkd.in/gQdsMsVB #CCSmonitoring

Case Study: EMS Bioremediation at Northern Boreal Upstream Spill Site. An active petroleum pipeline was struggling with remediating soil contamination at a remote site since traditional methods were no longer cost effective and they needed better insights into migration risks of the plume. EMS addressed the challenge to save costs and reduce environmentlal liability by deploying bioremediation alongside remote soil monitoring and plume forecasting. BioLodestone: Proprietary insitu bioremediation system that reduces time and costs to closure by up to 80% in years (versus decades). SoilSense Sensor: Innovative monitoring sensors to understand plume dynamics in months (versus years) with high density data stream. PlumeFutures: Predictive software providing soil and groundwater models in hours (versus weeks). REVIEW THE CASE STUDY: https://lnkd.in/gpXHghTQ EMS' small-footprint technology is designed to sit within existing subsurface infrastructure to assist with accelerating sites through the pathway to closure, while reducing costs. Our team works alongside clients to provide effiencies in site assessment, moving sites towards risk management and closure - faster and cheaper.
