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

Mirico拥有独特的激光色散光谱（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内的温室气体排放。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，因此公司可以修改操作并进行维修，以最大限度地减少基础设施的排放。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，将测量能力扩展到一氧化二氮。该项目的成果强调了发展的领域是对数据的解释，以便为农民提供见解。该项目将开发和验证用于解释来自农业来源的温室气体测量的算法。一氧化二氮和甲烷都很难在实际农场条件和规模下精确测量，导致所有利益相关者使用的“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，使其适合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。预期的结果是可以迅速推出的首个农业排放监测服务。对农民的好处是：*了解他们的真实排放量及其来源。*制定基于事实的行动计划，通过决策支持来解决这些问题。*对整个行业采用一致的衡量方法

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
