Emissions from fossil fuels can be tracked and quantified by measuring the ¹⁴C content of CO² in air. The lower the content, the higher the contribution from combustion of fossil sources.

¹⁴CO² monitoring around nuclear power plants and waste repositories can ensure safety from radioactive hazards to both workers of nuclear sites and the population living in their vicinity.

C14-SCAR fast measurement routines will provide a quasi-continous air monitoring capability, in combination with innovative automated atmospheric CO² extraction process that are being developed by our partners.
