Our Flow Measurement Technologies research team focuses on creating cutting-edge flow measurement methods and verifying measurement accuracy.
As the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) expands, an increasing number of sensors are being implemented across various sectors, from production facilities to power networks. Our work aims to create affordable, precise, and certified measurement solutions that enhance IIoT system performance.
The urgency of addressing climate change and ensuring sustainable energy is widely recognized. The UK's Climate Change Act 2008 established a goal to cut carbon emissions by 80% from 1990 levels by 2050. This target was later increased to 100% through the 2019 amendment. Current evaluations suggest achieving net-zero emissions exceeds existing technological capabilities, requiring continued research, innovation, and technological advancement.
Simply creating low-carbon technologies isn't enough. Fundamentally - measurement is essential for control. Achieving net-zero demands new measurement systems and infrastructure to accurately monitor critical materials like carbon dioxide and hydrogen across all sectors, which currently don't exist. These measurement tools are vital for assessing low-carbon solutions, informing policy decisions, and meeting reporting requirements.
Coventry University has partnered with TUV-NEL and others to establish the Clean Fuels Center, dedicated to advancing flow measurement verification technologies for net-zero energy implementation.
