Descrizione del progetto
Monitorare autonomamente i gas serra in zone umide e con permafrost remote
Per valutare e gestire in modo efficace i cambiamenti climatici, è importante che i paesi e le industrie monitorino accuratamente le emissioni di gas a effetto serra (GES). Gli osservatori esistenti tendono a raccogliere e valutare dati su larga scala relativi alle concentrazioni di GES, mentre i dati a breve termine e su piccola scala vengono trascurati. Inoltre, gli strumenti di raccolta dei dati GES in zone remote attualmente a disposizione sono costosi e insufficienti. Il progetto MISO, finanziato dall’UE, punta a istituire un osservatorio stazionario che sia in grado di rilevare e valutare accuratamente le concentrazioni di CO2 e metano in zone umide e con permafrost remote, utilizzando sensori a infrarossi non dispersivi per i GES di qualità migliore rispetto al passato. Questo osservatorio resistente alle intemperie funzionerà indipendentemente grazie all’aiuto di droni e trasmetterà dati per mezzo di una tecnologia basata sul cloud.
Obiettivo
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.
