NIST aims to monitor CO2 emissions from sequestration sites.

NIST team members, collaborating with Harris Corporation and Atmospheric and Environmental Research, have taken first step in validating a- technique that could permit effective monitoring of sequestration sites under real-world conditions, which ordinarily make it difficult to determine whether carbon dioxide is escaping storage. According to simulations, they could pinpoint gas leak from the...
