In order to provide reliable climate data for supporting international policies and regulations on carbon trading and low-carbon technology assessment, the new Centre for Carbon Measurement at the National Physical Laboratory is under development in Teddington.
The Centre for Carbon Measurement will work on reducing the uncertainty of climate data to improve the public confidence in carbon mitigation and adaptation policies. It will also provide science and technology measurement to validate physical models of emissions and carbon savings from products and organisations. Furthermore, low carbon technologies will be rapidly developed to attract potential investors.
