Autonomous Multi-Format In-Situ Observation Platform for Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide and Methane Monitoring in Permafrost & Wetlands

Descripción del proyecto

Control autónomo de los gases de efecto invernadero en zonas remotas de permafrost y humedales

A fin de evaluar y gestionar de manera eficaz el cambio climático, es importante que los países y las industrias controlen con precisión las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI). Los observatorios actuales tienden a recoger y evaluar datos a gran escala sobre las concentraciones de GEI, mientras que los datos a corto plazo y a pequeña escala se pasan por alto. Los medios existentes para recopilar datos sobre los GEI en zonas remotas también resultan caros e insuficientes. El equipo del proyecto MISO, financiado con fondos europeos, pretende establecer un observatorio estacionario capaz de detectar y medir con precisión las concentraciones de CO2 y metano en zonas remotas de permafrost y humedales mediante sensores infrarrojos no dispersivos de GEI mejorados. El observatorio, resistente a la intemperie, funcionará de forma autónoma con la ayuda de drones y transmitirá los datos mediante una tecnología basada en la nube.

Objetivo

Climate warming is driven by increased concentrations of greenhouse gasses (GHGs) e.g. CO2 and CH4, in the atmosphere. Existing observatories are able to capture GHG information for large-scale global assessments, but short-term natural variability and climate-driven changes in atmospheric CO2 and CH4 remain less known. There is also currently a lack of sufficiently precise, autonomous, and cost-efficient GHG sensors for GHG monitoring at sufficient spatial scale, and in hard-to-reach areas.
MISO will develop and demonstrate an autonomous in-situ observation platform for use in hard to reach areas (Arctic, wetlands), for detecting and quantifying carbon dioxide and methane gasses, using a combination of stationary and mobile (drone) solutions and requiring minimum on-site intervention when deployed. To achieve this objective, MISO will improve detection limit and accuracy of a NDIR GHG sensor, which will then be used in three observing platforms (a static tower, a static chamber and a UAV-mounted sensor) operated with the help of a central base unit. All elements will be designed for operation in harsh environments and with minimum human intervention. The static observatories will be powered by a unique geothermal device. Communication between the three observatories and a data cloud will use a combination of P2P, G4/G5/LTE, LORAWAN and wifi technologies. The specifications of the platform will be co-developed with stakeholders from academia, monitoring and measurement systems, industry and policy. A clear DCE strategy and focus on short-term impact management and medium and long-term commercialization will target several user groups including industries and representatives of main monitoring systems and infrastructures (e.g. ICOS). This will support innovative governance models and science-based policy design, implementation and monitoring. Sustainability performance and competitiveness in the domains covered by HE Cluster 6 will be enhanced.
