- A Danish project involving Green Instruments A/S, the Danish Technological Institute and key maritime industry stakeholders has developed a real-time flue gas sensor technology to accurately measure black carbon emissions from ships.
- The sensor technology could potentially become instrumental in meeting the increasing regulatory demands of the shipping industry for black carbon emission standards.
Green Instruments A/S and Danish Technological Institute have developed a real-time flue gas sensor technology – The Extinction-Minus-Scattering (EMS) measurement method – to accurately measure black carbon emissions from ships, a tech which could be instrumental in meeting increasing regulatory demands of the shipping industry for black carbon emission standards, reports Marine Log.
The EMS method enables real-time in-situ measurement capabilities, traceability, and lowered ownership costs, tackling significant hurdles of existing emission monitoring techniques.
The ‘Black Carbon Sensor for Continuous Measurement on Ships‘ project is supported by the Danish Ministry of Environment’s MUDP grant. It is a cooperative effort between Green Instruments, DFDS, MOL Chemical Tankers, Danske Rederier, Danske Maritime, and Danish Technological Institute.
