Metrology for the Planet
Society demands electricity supplies that are secure, sustainable and of high quality. Measurements play an increasingly critical role at every stage of the energy challenge.
Metrology can help to optimizing the control of energy storage systems (for example batteries in the automotive sector), and ensuring fair metering of electricity, gas and automotive fuels.
Accurate measurement is central to understanding climate change.
Millions of measurements are made every day covering some 50 Essential Climate Variables. The data has to be consistent so that it is meaningful and can be combined.
The emergence of emissions monitoring, carbon trading and other technologies such as carbon capture and storage all bring their own measurement challenges
