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 …

Quantitative monitoring of methane greenhouse gas emissions is becoming increasingly important as the effects of climate change are becoming harder to ignore.[1] In this series of posts, we will dig deeper into the challenges associated with accurately monitoring methane gas emissions. This being a worthwhile endeavor since methane gas emissions account for up to 10% of …
