Overview of the scientific and technical objectives
The aim of the JRP is to further develop the metrological framework for LNG, both for small and large scale applications. This will contribute to a reduction of the measurement uncertainty of LNG custody transfer by a factor two and to enabling the development of LNG as transport fuel. Therefore, the JRP addresses the following scientific and technical objectives;
WP1
Development and validation of novel and traceable calibration standards of LNG mass and volume flow for vehicle fuel dispensing and ship bunkering.

WP2
Development and validation of novel and improved methods for measuring LNG composition to address the online monitoring of the LNG quality and issues with sampling LNG.
