Improved Spectral Analysis for Greenhouse Gas Monitoring
Background As the world transitions from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, natural gas (\(CH_4\)) has gained prominence as a cleaner alternative to coal and oil due to its higher \(\Delta Hr /CO_2\) ratio. However, CH4 is a potent greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential equivalent to 30.5 \(CO_2\) molecules over a 20-year horizon. This project aims to enhance the accuracy of unburned \(CH_4\) emissions monitoring, supporting efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and align with global sustainability objectives. ...
