Research Associate, Quantification of Methane
6 months ago
Recent record-breaking global atmospheric methane growth rates have increased the challenge of meeting Net Zero targets by 2050. Large cuts in methane emissions are needed this decade to slow global temperature rise, and remediation targets need to be identified urgently. The new NERC-funded MOMENTUM (Mobile Observations and quantification of Methane Emissions to inform National Targeting, Upscaling and Mitigation) project, will conduct mobile greenhouse gas measurements to improve quantification of emissions from onshore methane sources, and identify priority mitigation targets in support of UK emissions policy.
The MOMENTUM project will focus on the identification, characterisation, and quantification of anthropogenic methane sources in the UK. This will include a range of targets, including gas installations and leaks, landfill sites, biogas plants, wastewater treatment plants and farms, with the aim of understanding processes leading to emission and comparison with national GHG inventories The University of Manchester hosts a UAV greenhouse gas laboratory, equipped with rotary and VTOL drones and state-of-the-art spectroscopic instrumentation for precision measurement of GHG concentrations and micrometerology.
