A new device from Vaisala records carbon dioxide volumes at both portland cement plant exhaust stack or other point sources, and utilization targets such as concrete production environments, where the gas is mineralized or leveraged for supplementary binding properties.
Specifically designed to bring transparency to carbon capture, storage and utilization (CCUS) projects, the MGP241 instantly measures CO2 volumes and moisture levels.
“No one knows yet if CCUS will indeed grow to be a significant solution in our fight against climate change. The technology is still in its early stages,” said Vaisala Strategy and Business Development Manager Julia Salovaara. “What we can solve now is how to make measuring these projects as transparent and efficient as possible to leave no room for guesswork or sugarcoating the results. Our new probe measures directly in the gas flow and shows test results in real time. Our numbers don’t lie.”
Unlike traditional gas analyzers, noted Vaisala officials, the MGP241 requires no expensive calibration gases, needs dramatically less maintenance, and promises a 10-plus year lifespan in heavy-duty use. “Our new probe measures directly in the gas flow and shows test results in real time. This level of transparency and proof is essential for process optimization, building trust with stakeholders, and demonstrating genuine commitment to sustainability,” concluded Salovaara.
