A Study On The Monitoring & Measurement Of Green House Gas Emissions At Dumpyards Using Gis & Sensor Web

Funded by Department of Science and Technology
Amount: Rs.13, 44,000/-
Duration: 1 Year (2015-2016, extended till July 2017)
Principal Investigator: Dr.Dawn .S S
Co-Investigators: Dr.T. Sasipraba, Dr. R. Jeberson Retna Raj

Project Objectives:

  1. To measure the Green House Gas concentration using CH4 - CO2 sensors installed on the identified hotspots of the Kodungaiyur and Perungudi dumpyards on periodic basis.

  2. To record and transmit the sensed data to the web server through the OGC standard sensor web.

  3. To monitor and analyze the CH4- CO2 (GHG) emissions from the web server for decision-making and development of a model incorporating age of the dumpyard, waste dissociation rate and the GHG dispersion rate.
