Panel Session
Application of Fiber Optic Sensing in Energy Transition
The energy transition is a very complex process involving multiple activities, such as the rapid development of renewable and other carbon-neutral energy sources, the reduction of the carbon footprint of the major energy-consuming processes, the gradual reduction of the use of fossil fuels and the mitigation of the unavoidable CO2 production by technologies like CCS.
Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) is a rapidly developing technology with significant disruptive potential in multiple applications in many, if not all, of these activities. It allows the deployment of thousands of sensors that provide vital information about complex processes, enabling new optimisation options and significant energy and cost savings. Fiber optic sensing can play a major role in monitoring energy production, distribution and CCS.
Many of the energy transition activities are new, so it is not surprising that these were some of the early adopters of DFOS, geological carbon storage is just one example.
The Asia-Pacific region is home to more than 60% of the World's population, responsible for more than half of the global energy demand, with 85% of this energy being sourced from fossil fuels. The decarbonisation of the region is vital for the success of the global energy transition process. As such, it is and will be witnessing the rapid development of DFOS applications in this space.
The panel session brings together representatives of the major energy producers, experts in fiber optic sensing and researchers who will discuss the present and future of the technology in the energy transition.
