From March 26th to 27th 2025, the EMN for Energy Gases Workshop took place at the facilities of VSL in Delft, the Netherlands. The first day started with an enlightening speech by VSL’s Managing Director, Fabienne van Booma, followed by the Chair of EURAMET EMN for Energy Gases, Annarita Baldan.
We were happy to see so many stakeholders (over 90 participants on the first day). Interesting oral presentations, poster exhibitions and a lab tour were some of the featured activities of this remarkable event. Participants visited the VSL laboratories of flow metering with traceability to primary standards, the chemistry lab for preparation of gas mixtures and analysis methods, as well as the humidity lab, which is very important for high purity gases.
The event was co-organised by the 3 Euramet projects MetCCUS, Met4H2 and BiometCAP. Together, they are contributing to the metrology infrastructure to integrate hydrogen, biomethane and carbon dioxide in the European energy system.
With a total duration of 3 years, all projects will finalise in September 2025 and many results have been produced (with more to come). For more information, visit the three project websites:

In the case of MetCCUS, the full workshop agenda was:
- MetCCUS achievements after 2.5 years (Iris de Krom, VSL)
- Development of emissions measurement methods for CCUS in MetCCUS (Rod Robinson, NPL)
- Initial results from field assessment of the Tracer Corelation method for determining site level CO2 emissions (Jacob Monster, FORCE Technology and Fabrizio Innocenti, NPL)
- Flow metering technologies and calibration transferability in CCUS (Ara Abdulrahman, VSL)
- Development of traceable metrology for gas quality assurance for CCUs industry (Nityashree Nagesh, NPL)
- Simulation of carbon capture using MEA and MDEA: Sensitivity analysis and cost estimation (Solmaz Nadiri, PTB)
- Development of a Primary Standard Humidity Generator for the Calibration of Hygrometers in Carbon Dioxide (Paul Carroll, NPL)
