CCS - MV Bluefin 2017 V01 pH

Project Overview: A range of solutions will be required to reach globally agreed emissions reductions targets for carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is part of the suite of technologies that will contribute to lowering atmospheric emissions of CO2 from Australia's energy system. There are a wide variety of technologies at various stages of technical and commercial readiness, with more development underway for cost effective CO2 capture and storage. Our research will provide new knowledge to inform cost-efficient measurement, monitoring and verification (MMV) of the environment of CCS projects in coastal waters.

A SeaFET pH sensor, manufactured by Scripps Institute of Oceanography was installed in the carbon team’s container and measured seawater from the ship’s auxiliary seawater pump for the duration of the voyage.

Survey settings:
A flow of 1.8-2.2 litres per minute was maintained through the instrument. Readings were recorded once per minute.

Calibration Information:
The instrument will be calibrated with samples collected during the voyage, which will be analysed for TCO2 and total alkalinity.

项目概述：为达成全球商定的二氧化碳（CO₂）减排目标，需采用一系列解决方案。碳捕获与封存（CCS, Carbon Capture and Storage）是助力降低澳大利亚能源体系向大气排放CO₂的技术组合之一。当前存在多种处于不同技术与商业化成熟度阶段的相关技术，且针对低成本高效的CO₂捕获与封存技术仍在推进更多研发工作。本研究将提供新知识，为沿海水域CCS项目周边环境的低成本高效测量、监测与验证（MMV, measurement, monitoring and verification）提供决策依据。

由斯克里普斯海洋研究所（Scripps Institute of Oceanography）制造的SeaFET pH传感器被安装在碳研究团队的集装箱内，在整个航行期间，通过船舶辅助海水泵抽取海水为该传感器提供检测水样。

调查设置：
仪器维持1.8-2.2升每分钟的水流流速，每分钟记录一次读数。

校准信息：
本仪器将使用航行期间采集的水样进行校准，这些水样将被分析总二氧化碳（TCO2）和总碱度。
