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、利用和封存（CCUS）和制氢是两个最可行和最直接的工程解决方案，可以在工业规模上使我们的星球脱碳，实现净零（NZ）。除了目前以高成本建造新的CCUS设施的努力之外，这种脱碳过程的商业可行性可以通过重新利用现有的石油和天然气基础设施来提高，这些基础设施已经达到其商业寿命的终点，作为CO2和H2运输和储存网络的一部分。同样的再利用原则也可以应用于先进的资产管理工具和许多其他设备，如用于监管转移应用的流量测量设备。然而，流体生产和运输及其在生产设施、收集站、利用设施和封存（用于LiqScritCO 2）或储存（用于LiqCryoH 2）基础设施的监管转移需要对流体热物理性质的详细了解。目前，对来自CO2捕集或H2生产设施的LiqScritCO 2和LiqCryoH 2的富混合物流几乎没有全面的知识和理解。这些全面的知识对于设计、开发、测试和生产合适的技术以安全准确地运行CO2和H2网络基础设施至关重要。特别是，为了通过流量保证了解和确保其安全运营，以及吸引投资、交易和税收，减少不确定性的准确测量至关重要。这将为企业投资创造信心，同时也使政府补贴或税收得到统一和准确的应用。作为一家负责任的企业，OGM正在投资重新调整其开创性的数量测量（流量计量）和质量测量（混合和采样）设备，用于CO2和H2经济。该项目将为OGM提供来自A4 I合作伙伴的备受追捧的专业知识，以开发合适且准确的热物理特性或状态方程（EoS）模型及其随后的实施，作为一个开放和便携式计算库，以便我们可以将其封装在计算流体动力学（CFD）模拟工具中，这些工具将被开发为我们的超声波流量计（UFM）的数字双胞胎框架。开发的工具将用于优化、验证和重新调整我们的UFM，以用于H2和CCUS经济型托管传输计量应用。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，而且碳足迹也明显更小。
