Air Monitoring
Methane emissions– If you can’t measure it you can’t control it.
Sep 05 2024
Methane emissions contribute to climate change and poor air quality due to low-lying ozone formation from reactions with nitrogen oxides in sunlight. Ozone traps heat in the troposphere and, when mixed with other pollutants, creates smog that is harmful to health.
In 2022, the UK pledged to reduce global methane emissions by 30% by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Methane accounted for 14% of the UK's total greenhouse gas emissions, with agriculture and waste sectors contributing 49% and 30%, respectively.
The Environment Agency regulates certain industrial methane emissions but does not currently regulate emissions from anaerobic digestion (AD) of manure, livestock, or wastewater treatment under certain conditions. Improving emissions data in the agricultural and waste sectors requires better methane monitoring.
Universities and industry are working on innovative projects like methane capture on farms and converting biomethane to hydrogen. Omnisensors and Transmitters offers various methane measurement technologies, including NDIR, MPS, catalytic, and metal oxide semiconductors.
