CO₂ Monitoring Deployment in Danish CCS Pilot Project

maersk-ship 1024x576

Client/Project Overview

As part of a pioneering Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) initiative in Denmark, our team was engaged to support a pilot project focused on monitoring CO₂ levels on board the platform and the transport vessel. The project aimed to enhance safety protocols and environmental awareness in operations involving captured carbon transport and storage.

Needs and Challenges

  • Emerging safety concerns related to CO₂ exposure in confined marine environments

  • Lack of real-time monitoring systems for CO₂

  • Need to validate sensor performance under operational conditions

  • Integration of monitoring technology into CCS workflows

  • Ensuring crew readiness and response capability in case of elevated CO₂ levels

Key Tasks Executed

  • Installed CO₂ monitoring systems tailored for offshore vessel conditions

  • Conducted sensor calibration and system testing

  • Distributed emergency breathing apparatus

  • Provided crew training on CO₂ safety and alert response

  • Collected and analyzed live data during vessel operations

  • Supported integration of monitoring into broader CCS safety protocols

Solutions Implemented

  • Deployed advanced CO₂ detection technology with real-time alerting

  • Enabled continuous monitoring of air quality in enclosed spaces

  • Protected the crew against any gas releases

  • Delivered technical support and operational guidance to onboard teams

  • Collaborated with CCS project stakeholders to align safety standards

Results Achieved

  • Validated the feasibility of CO₂ monitoring in CCS maritime operations

  • Improved crew awareness and preparedness for CO₂-related risks

  • Contributed to the development of safety benchmarks for future CCS projects

  • Strengthened the role of gas detection in environmental innovation

Participating in this CCS pilot project allowed us to apply our safety expertise to a new frontier. CO₂ monitoring is not just about compliance — it’s about protecting people as we transition to cleaner energy solutions.
