Metrology for stable isotope reference standards

Supporting governments to verify emissions and demonstrate reduction targets.   
        
Methods to discriminate between natural and various manmade sources of greenhouse gases are needed to support governments to verify emissions and demonstrate reduction targets.
   
Project fills a traceability gap by providing new measurement infrastructure for stable isotopes of the major greenhouse gases CO₂ and N₂O.
  
VTT MIKES develops a compact spectroscopic isotope analyser for pure N₂O and a field-deployable CO₂ isotope analyser for atmospheric measurements.
