Case Study
Cutting CO2 emissions
Cutting CO2 emissions IMPACT (Innovative Materials, Design and Monitoring of Power Plants to Accommodate Carbon Capture), a major carbon abatement project that aims to help carbon intensive industries reduce their CO 2 emissions, will call on NPL's expertise in Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and novel miniaturised testing capabilities to develop in-situ monitoring of plants for improved through-life plant monitoring to reduce emissions. The overall objective of the project is to improve the efficiency of future steel- based coal-fired power plants that will allow for reduced emissions through the development of practical techniques for carbon abatement, which will have immediate impact on CO 2 emissions once applied. Techniques developed will be applicable to both new-build plants along
