CryoMet
Metrology for reliable liquefied energy gases measurement
The project has received funding from the European Partnership on Metrology, co-financed by European Union Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme and from the Participating States.
About the project
The fit for 55 package of legislation requires an increased usage of liquefied energy gases to reach 55 % net greenhouse gas emissions reduction by 2030. However, reliable measurement methods for bio-liquefied natural gas (bio-LNG) and liquefied hydrogen (LH2) are not yet fully developed.
Bio-LNG is defined here as (predominantly) liquefied methane originating from biomethane and/or biogas and traceable measurements for both it and LH2 are urgently needed across the supply chain. In order to address this issue, this project will develop reference data sets and technical evidence to support the acceptance of measurement methods for (bio-)LNG and LH2. This will include verification of the results and datasets under in-field conditions and by SI-traceable intercomparisons. The project’s outcomes should enable the European liquefied gas metrological framework to be expanded, and new SI-traceable calibration procedures to be developed.
The project’s liquefied gas measurement methods and good practice guidance will also be disseminated and promoted to standardisation bodies, the measurement supply chain, and end-users to support their wide uptake.
