Protocol for SI-traceable validation of methods for biomethane conformity assessment (BiometCAP)

Our role

VSL is leading the work package on creating impact which includes dissemination and communication activities as well as the exploitation and uptake of the project outputs. In the technical work package 1, VSL will gravimetrically and dynamically prepare and validate gas transfer standards to be used for the performance evaluation of analytical systems and will optimize the dynamic preparation facility. In work package 2, VSL will together with other partners working on the development of a comprehensive protocol for the validation and performance evaluation of the analytical instruments and methods that are used in the conformity assessment of biomethane. VSL will also work on the validation of the fitness of purpose of the protocol by demonstrating its applicability for the analysis of a number of parameters.

Our expertise in practice

Metrology for Ammonia as an Energy Carrier

Given its higher volumetric energy density compared to hydrogen, ammonia is expected to play a significant role in long-term energy storage. To ensure a safe and fair rollout of ammonia as an energy carrier, it is essential to establish infrastructure for measuring quantity, quality, and emissions.

Metrology for Hydrogen Vehicles 3

This project focuses on developing faster methods for hydrogen flow calibrations (using master meters), combining flow calibrations with sampling for quality measurements, creating test protocols for gas composition sensors, and investigating potential new impurities.

New standards for calibration of spectroradiometric measurement instruments

Developing new standards for calibration of spectroradiometric measuring instruments, with VSL focusing primarily on new sources and detector-based methods.

Sensor engineering for vibration isolation in Einstein Telescope

Project SENVIDET contributes to the development of the Einstein Telescope through innovation in the field of sensors for vibration isolation.

Traceable machine vision systems for digital industrial applications

Machine vision systems are crucial to many high-value industries, where Europe is globally competitive, and to the EU objectives for digital transformation and the Green Deal.

Digital metrological twins for advanced manufacturing

Supporting advanced production processes using so-called Digital Metrology Twins (D-MTs), where VSL will mainly work on a digital representation of tactile measurements on the CMM.

Virtual experiments and digital twins (ViDiT)

Virtual experiments and digital twins are key enabling technologies to achieve and realise European strategic policies devoted to sustainability and digitalisation within the complex framework of Industry 4.0 and the European Green Deal.

Metrology for Aerosol Optical Properties (MAPP 19ENV04)

The goal of this project is to enable the Si-traceable measurements of column-integrated aerosol optical properties retrieved from the passive remote sensing of atmosphere using solar and lunar measurements.

RMG Research on optical microscopes (Research Mobility Grant 20FUN02-RMG1)

This Research mobility grant together with EMPIR project 20FUN02 POLight aims to enhance multiple optical measurement methods for use in nano-metrology.

Pushing boundaries of nano-dimensional metrology by light (20FUN02 POLight)

This project addresses this issue by developing novel methods to help bridge the metrology gap and in turn foster KET innovation. More specifically, this project will push the boundaries of optical measurement methods by realising a new generation of optical metrology systems, with unprecedented performances in terms of spatial resolution, traceability, reliability and robustness.
