Saipem tests FlatFish underwater drone in Trieste to monitor subsea stored CO2
Italian company Saipem held a technology demonstration day at its Trieste base on the monitoring of subsea CO2 transport and containment networks, attended by industrial and academic delegations. The focus was the FlatFish underwater drone, an autonomous vehicle that inspects pipelines and injection zones without constant surface assistance, using smart navigation and biogeochemical sensors to detect leaks. The tests are part of the European COREu consortium, which brings together more than forty partners and seeks a logistics corridor to move industrial CO2 to offshore geological storage.
