Satellite data can make the difference in gaining insight into the amount of methane in and around rubbish dumps.
Satellite data as landfill monitor
Two major greenhouse gases are CO2 and methane (CH4). If we look at these greenhouse gases, the polluting power of methane is particularly strong. 1 kilo of methane has the same effect as 28 kilo of CO2. Methane is mainly released by livestock farming, but there is still a major source of methane emissions: rubbish dumps.
Waste produces a lot of methane, especially in the beginning, but even years after a landfill is closed down, waste can continue to emit methane. And that impact is not mild. If nothing changes, open landfills will account for 8 to 10% of global greenhouse gases by 2025. Satellite data can make all the difference in understanding the amount of methane in and around landfills. Satellite data can also be used to locate landfills around the world.
Caeli offers accurate satellite data with which you can see the average values of (methane) gas in and around a landfill. This data is obtained through a combination of measurement techniques using satellite data, the Caeli algorithm®, and resolution to 100x100 metres. To map methane (CH4) Caeli works with data from the Sentinel 5p satellite with the instrument Tropomi. The data is easy to read on the map provided by Caeli.
Because Caeli uses satellite data, expensive investments in hardware are not necessary. Caeli works with a subscription model in which the methane values are updated on a daily basis. It is also possible to monitor the amount of methane. This makes it clear, for example, how quickly the amount of methane in the air decreases after closing a landfill.
Caeli's insights are the result of our super-resolution algorithm. With this algorithm, offered products can be delivered 'near real time' via an automated process. In very high resolution. In addition, Caeli is able to 'look through clouds' via imputation techniques. Missing data thus becomes visible.
