greenhouse gases emissions Applications

Measurement of greenhouse gases released from soil and water surface forms an important part of climate change study. Microbial activity in the soil or for instance the melting of permafrost releases greenhouse gases such as Methane and nitrous oxide N2O into the atmosphere. Measurement of the concentration for these gases inside an open-bottom soil chamber placed on the soil over time tells the emission rate (flux) per chamber footprint area.

Petrochemical plants, and especially their process water recovery plants, are a major source of air pollution. If odours are a recurring problem, the emission of greenhouse gases may also be particularly important.

Closed chamber gas flux measurements can be made with Protea FTIR analysers to allow researchers in the field of atmospheric gas analysis from agricultural and livestock to measure evolved gases such as N₂O, CO₂, CO, NH₃, and CH₄. Nitrous oxide (N₂O) and Methane (CH₄) emissions from soil, plant and livestock are especially important gases to measure, given their high potential as greenhouse gases (GHGs). NH₃, whilst not a greenhouse...
