Methane Emissions Research at the University of Queensland

This week we had a really productive visit to Torbay by Profs Phil Hayes and Sebastian Hoerning from the University of Queensland Gas & Energy Transition Research Centre to discuss how to improve our QLM Camera methane emission quantification in Australian outback hot weather conditions and across large sites like biogas plants and coal seam gas mining areas with widespread ground sources. As Bob Dylan wrote 60 years ago “the answer is blowing in the wind” so we are working to join our panoramic 3D lidar plume and solid object images with anemometer array results and computational wind models to train our data processing pipeline. There is no excuse for a man to turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see, when we can show you in real-time exactly how much methane you can capture if you try.
