Project Abstract
The major component of natural gas, methane, contributes significantly to global warming and climate change. It is a damaging greenhouse gas with a 100-year impact 25 times greater than carbon dioxide. Sensors that are both dependable and cost-effective must be studied and developed to identify and address global warming problems affecting the entire world. This project will help develop a dependable and cost-effective alternative to a commercial methane sensor that will be used on a drone to help determine the amount of methane gas in the skies of Peru. A comparison of different approaches, highlights, merits, and limitations of each, is also provided to assist address future research needs.
