Safety Challenges for the Energy Transition CO2 Gas Detection
Title: Safety Challenges for the Energy Transition - CO2 Gas Detection
InstMC Central North-West Local Section – Technical Talk Series (Part 2).
As we move away from energy sources rooted in fossil fuels, we must look for new ways to find and store our energy. Decarbonisation requires us to generate energy differently, but also to store the carbon dioxide from existing energy sources as we transition. Both sides of this coin have their own unique safety challenges based around gas hazards and we cover these in a series of two tech-talk online webinars presented by Megan Hine of Draeger.
The first of the tech-talk series (Part 1) took place on 4th October 2023 and covered the differences between detecting hydrogen vs detecting hydrocarbons. This included detector selection and gas behaviour for both blended hydrogen hydrocarbon mixes and 100% hydrogen systems. You can view the video by clicking the link below.
