Continuous Emission Monitoring technologies to reduce carbon emissions
The South African Carbon Tax Act, 2018 has been in operation since 1 June 2019. The South African government has committed to a 34% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2020 and a 42% reduction by 2025. In addition, many companies are taking active steps to reduce industrial carbon emissions.
The Carbon Tax will be phased in over a period of time, with the first phase running from 1 June 2019 to December 2022. The aim of this approach is to facilitate a smooth transition for companies to adopt cleaner and more efficient technologies and behaviours.
The stated intentions of the tax are to cut emissions in order for South Africa to comply with its international commitments under the Paris Agreement and to send a signal to investors to transition to a low-carbon economy.
Various technologies, such as SICK Automation’s Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS), are available to assist companies to reduce carbon emissions.
The company supplies measurement technology to assist businesses and industries to meet required reductions in GHG emissions.
With experience in the power, energy-from-waste and biomass sectors, the company has developed a number of technologies in continuous emission monitoring.
The technologies have been specifically designed for measuring emissions at power plants, industrial facilities, and on ships. CEMS solutions can be used to measure pollutants and reference quantities and to perform data processing on the results, in accordance with relevant national or international legislation.
The company states that its CEMS systems range will cover most applications and provide solutions for industries to reduce GHG emissions.
