Carbon capture, utilization and sequestration (CCUS) and Hydrogen Production are the two most viable and immediate engineering solutions to decarbonize our planet at industrial scale towards net-zero (NZ). In addition to the current effort to build new CCUS facilities at high cost, the commercial viability of such decarbonization process could be enhanced by repurposing existing oil and gas infrastructure that have reached the end of their commercial life as part of the CO2 and H2 transport and storage networks. The same repurposing principle could also be applied for advanced asset management tools and many other equipment such as flow measurement devices for custody transfer applications.However, fluid production and transport and its custody transfer at production facilities, gathering stations, utilization facilities and sequestration (for LiqScritCO2) or storage (for LiqCryoH2) infrastructure require detail understanding of the fluid thermophysical properties. Currently, there is practically no comprehensive knowledge and understanding on rich mixture streams of LiqScritCO2 and LiqCryoH2 coming out from CO2 capture or H2 production facilities. Such comprehensive knowledge is vital to design, develop, test and productize suitable technologies to operate the CO2 and H2 network infrastructure safely and accurately. In particular, to understand and ensure its safe operations through flow assurance as well as to attract investment, transaction and taxation, accurate measurement with reduced uncertainties is crucial. This will create confidence for businesses to invest while it also allows for government subsidies or taxations to be applied uniformly and accurately.As a responsible business, OGM is investing to repurpose its ground breaking quantity measurement (flow metering) and quality measurement (mixing and sampling) devices for the CO2 and H2 economy. This project will provide OGM the highly sought after expertise from an A4I partner to develop suitable and accurate thermophysical properties or equation of state (EoS) model and its subsequent implementation as an open and portable computational library so that we can encapsulate it in the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation tools that will be developed to serve as a framework Digital-Twin for our Ultrasonic Flow Meter (UFM).The developed tools in turn will be used to optimize, validate and repurpose our UFM for the H2 and CCUS economy custody transfer metering applications. This innovative approach could be used routinely in future product development, testing and validation - faster, cheaper and with significantly smaller carbon footprint too.

碳捕获，利用率和隔离（CCUS）和氢产量是两种最可行，最直接的工程解决方案，可在工业规模上脱碳，以净到零零（NZ）。除了目前以高昂的成本建立新的CCUS设施的努力外，可以通过重新利用现有的现有石油和天然气基础设施来增强这种脱碳过程的商业可行性，这些石油和天然气基础设施作为CO2和H2 Transport和H2 Transport和H2运输的一部分达到了商业生活存储网络。同样的重新利用原则也可以用于高级资产管理工具和许多其他设备，例如用于监护权转移申请的流量测量设备。 liqscritco2）或存储（对于liqcryoh2）基础设施需要详细了解流体热物理特性。目前，几乎没有关于Liqscritco2和Liqcryoh2的丰富混合物流的全面知识和理解，来自CO2 Caption或H2生产设施。这种全面的知识对于设计，开发，测试和生产适当的技术至关重要，以安全，准确地操作CO2和H2网络基础架构。特别是，要通过流动保证以及吸引投资，交易和税收来理解和确保其安全运营，并通过减少的不确定性进行准确的测量是至关重要的。这将使企业投资的信心，同时允许政府补贴或税收均匀，准确地申请。作为负责任的企业，OGM正在投资重新利用其突破性的数量测量（流量计量）和质量测量（混合和采样） ）二氧化碳和H2经济的设备。该项目将为OGM提供来自A4I合作伙伴的高度追捧的专业知识，以开发合适而准确的热物理特性或状态方程（EOS）模型及其随后作为开放且便携式计算库的实施，以便我们可以将其封装在计算流体中动态（CFD）模拟工具将被开发为我们的超声流量计（UFM）的框架数字双重。转移计量申请。这种创新的方法可以在未来的产品开发，测试和验证中常规使用 - 更快，更便宜且碳足迹也明显较小。
