Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a fast-growing tool for reducing global carbon emissions in order to combat climate change. CCS technology is in its relative infancy and showed 48% growth in 2021 for commissioned projects. With unknown or new technology comes unknown risk, especially from corrosion. Some recent high profile CCS projects have been delayed owing to a range of factors, including in some cases extreme corrosion caused by contaminants in the piping. A corrosion event could be catastrophic, causing potential loss of life. Monitoring the risk and impact of corrosion and erosion using wireless non-intrusive sensors is cost effective and reduces leaks into the environment by giving real-time updates on the pipe wall thickness and corrosion rate.
