There are various methods for measuring the presence of methane gas. My favorite is the laser-based absorption spectroscopy method. That’s what my PhD is in. Sometimes though, there are simpler “off-the-shelf” methods for measuring this invisible, naturally odorless, and valuable gas resource. The table below contains a list of commercially available sensors you can use …

TLDR: A dataset of simulated absorbance scans and a 1D convolutional neural net were used to train a model to predict methane mole fraction to within 0.25% of actual mole fraction. This provides the potential to rapidly improve data processing of TDLAS-based sensors. 1. Initial Absorbance Simulation We start with simulating methane absorbance. By using …

How do carbon credits and carbon offsets reduce emissions? What are carbon credits? A carbon credit is a permit that allows a company to emit a certain amount of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases. Typically, one credit allows for the emission of one ton of carbon dioxide. To conceptualize, approximately one ton of carbon …

Tracking CA Greenhouse Gas Emissions The california air resources board (CARB) is the government agency tasked with determining the statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory and updating it every five years. Initially the responsibility of the California Energy Commission, tracking responsibility of statewide emissions inventories was transferred to the air resources board …
