Clean Energy Capability Portfolio | Energy Markets
Competitive Advantage
• Australia ’ s only provider of simultaneous car or aircraft-based measurements of the atmospheric concentrations of methane , carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide
• Leaders in confirming fugitive emission estimates from facilities and verifying satellite observations of greenhouse gas emissions
Impact
• UNSW methane studies , affiliated with UNEP Methane Science projects , have been cited in Australia ’ s National Inventory Submissions to demonstrate independent verification of emissions estimates
Successful Applications
• Mapped and reported numerous gas leaks throughout Australia , resulting in improved safety
• Identified greenhouse gas mitigation opportunities for both industry and government
• Quantified emissions from power plants , coal seam gas developments , coal mining , feedlots , agricultural landscapes , landfills , waste management facilities , gas distribution networks , and other sources
Capabilities and Facilities
• Monitoring facility emissions using time series measurements of greenhouse gases
• Isotope studies for source identification
• Car-based surveys for mapping sources of greenhouse gas emissions
• Drone-based surveys for quantifying the rates of greenhouse gas emissions from factories , landfills , and waste facilities
• Aircraft-based surveys for quantifying the rates of greenhouse gas emissions from mines or regions
• Verifying satellite observations of greenhouse gas emissions
Our Collaborators
• Australian and State Governments
• United Nations Environment Programme – Methane Science Studies
