First use of a drone to measure ruminant methane emissions in Africa
Drone measurements at ILRIs Kapiti farm in Kenya. The tests are part of a bigger effort under CircAgric-GHG, that is collecting data and testing the methodology for ruminant methane emission measurements across three different climates and environments: Germany, Kenya and Norway. Accorcing to a blog post from ILRIs communication department, this is the first use of a […]
Measurements of methane and CO2 from the barn at NIBIO Tjøtta
Researchers use drones with advanced measurement equipment to estimate greenhouse gas emissions from the ground. In August 2023, Norbert Pirk and Alouette van Hove from the University of Oslo(UiO) visited NIBIO Tjøtta. They used drones that measure methane and CO2 respectively at a height of about 20 metres above the barn, which houses between 60-70 […]
Presentation of drones that will be used to measure climate gas emissions from ruminants
VIDEO: Drones that will be used to measure climate gas emissions from ruminants. Norbert Pirk, researcher at Universitetet i Oslo (UiO), demonstrates which drones they have available and plan to use in CircAgric-GHG. The project will use various remote sensing technologies to detect CH4 and CO2 fluxes from landscapes and animals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDlIDjk-mjA Video: Anette Tjomsland Spilling […]
