Accurate CO₂ Measurements is Essential for LongshipOne of the key objectives of the Longship project is to demonstrate that CO_₂ can be handled safely and efficiently – from capture to permanent storage. To achieve this, precise measurement is essential. Not only as a technical requirement, but also as a prerequisite for regulatory reporting, safety, and public trust.
