FarmCH4Track

Farm methane emission reduction through sensor-based digital innovation

PROJECT INFO:

DURATION: 
2025-2027
 
FUNDING:
The Mission Partnership 
 

PARTNER:
Technical University of Denmark

CHALLENGE

Livestock methane emissions remain a major climate challenge for dairy production.

TECHNOLOGY

Digital sensors and monitoring systems for tracking methane emissions at farm level.

POTENTIAL

Faster adoption of effective methane reduction strategies through data-driven decision-making.

Goal

The objective is to design and assess the feasibility of a low-cost sensor system for quantifying methane emissions from livestock production. This system aims to enhance our understanding of methane emissions by providing continuous measurements at the facility level. The ultimate goal is to develop an affordable solution capable of monitoring emissions from various sources across the farm.

Plan

The system will consist of a low-cost sensor network designed to measure methane concentrations, combined with an atmospheric dispersion model to continuously quantify emissions from various sources on farms. The quantified emissions will be compared to measurements obtained using the tracer gas dispersion method. The measurement campaign will span an entire year on two farms. This project will assess the performance of the sensor network and explore potential improvements. Farmers will be involved from the early stages to ensure that the sensor system is compatible with their daily operations.

Expected results

By the end of the project, the performance and suitability of the system will be evaluated, and the potential for further implementation will be explored. This technology aims to support the development of data-driven farming practices focused on reducing methane emissions and, consequently, mitigating the climate change impact of livestock farm operations.
