CO₂LeakTrace: Detect and trace CO₂ leakage from gas pipelines

CO₂LeakTrace: Detect and trace CO₂ leakage from gas pipelines

The goal of this project is to assess whether acoustic emission is a cost-effective method for condition monitoring of CO₂ pipelines. To achieve this, we will:

  1. Conduct a feasibility study using acoustic emission on pipelines in the NORCE laboratory
  2. Perform a preliminary analysis of acoustic emission data to detect and trace CO₂ leaks
  3. Investigate the detection range of an acoustic emission sensor for identifying CO₂ leaks in pipelines
  4. Estimate potential cost savings from detecting CO₂ leaks using acoustic emission compared to leaks occurring per hour without monitoring
