Validation of on-farm measurements of green-house gas emissions

Mirico拥有独特的激光色散光谱仪（LDS）技术，可在各种天气条件下以极高的灵敏度准确测量大范围的温室气体排放。我们最近开发了一种基于LDS的解决方案，用于监测能源部门的甲烷排放，因此企业可以修改操作和进行维修，以最大限度地减少其基础设施的排放。一项成功完成的农业创新途径可行性研究表明，该技术非常适合在农业环境中使用，将测量能力扩展到包括一氧化二氮。该项目的成果突出表明，需要发展的领域是解释数据，为农民提供见解。该项目将开发和验证用于解释农业源温室气体测量的算法。一氧化二氮和甲烷都很难在真实的农场条件下和大规模地准确测量，导致所有利益攸关方使用的”信息差距”。农民和政府都需要可靠的数据来了解排放的来源以及如何减少排放。我们将开发和验证我们的数字解决方案，使其适用于农民和更广泛的食品供应链，为他们提供可用的、可操作的数据。预期成果是可以快速推出的首个农业排放监测服务。对农民的好处将是：* 了解他们的真实的排放量及其来源。制定基于事实的行动计划，通过决策支持解决这些问题。对整个行业采取一致的衡量方法

Mirico has unique Laser Dispersion Spectrometry (LDS) technology which accurately measures greenhouse gas emissions across wide areas, with extremely high sensitivity and in all weathers. We have recently developed an LDS-based solution for monitoring of methane emissions from the energy sector, so companies can modify operations and make repairs to minimise releases from their infrastructure.A successfully completed Farming Innovation Pathway feasibility study showed that the technology was highly suitable for use in agricultural environments, extending the measurement capability to include nitrous oxide. The outcome of the project highlighted the area for development was in interpretation of the data to generate insight for farmers.This project will develop and validate algorithms for interpreting GHG measurements from agricultural sources. Both nitrous oxide and methane are very difficult to measure accurately under real farm conditions and at scale, resulting in an" information gap" for use by all stakeholders. Both farmers and government need reliable data to understand where emissions are coming from and how to mitigate them.We will develop and validate our digital solution to make it fit-for-purpose for farmers, and the wider food supply chain, providing them with usable, actionable data.The expected outcome is a first-of-a-kind farming emissions monitoring service which can be rapidly rolled out. The benefits to farmers will be:* Understand their real emissions and where they are from.* Formulate fact-based action plans to tackle them through decision support.* A consistent measurement approach for the whole sector
