landfills capture and use much of the methane gas as a fuel. But some methane escapes and is emitted to the atmosphere. Methane is an important greenhouse gas and controls on methane
emissions are a part of international and national strategies to limit climate change. Better estimates of methane emissions from landfills and other similar sources would allow the UK to
improve the quantification and control of greenhouse gas emissions. This project tested the accuracy of methane measurement using an unmanned aerial system (UAS). We released known amounts
of methane and measured these emissions using an UAS. The UAS experiments successfully measured the methane releases. The measured methane emission, taking into account the uncertainty in
the measurements, always overlapped with the controlled methane emission release. UPDATES TO THIS PAGE Published 2 March 2018 SIGN UP FOR EMAILS OR PRINT THIS PAGE Get emails about this page
