GCC960C103 ABB presents its first comprehensive greenhouse gas monitoring solution

On July 13, the 19th China International Environmental Protection Exhibition with the theme of "Gathering heart and strength '14th Five-Year Plan', a new journey of Industrial Development" kicked off, focusing on the "14th Five-Year Plan" to continue to play a key point of pollution prevention and control and the development opportunities and trends of environmental protection industry under the background of carbon peak carbon neutrality. ABB demonstrated a comprehensive range of greenhouse gas monitoring solutions for the first time at this industry event, and is committed to providing scientific method support and solid data foundation for China's dual-carbon target path planning and industry emission reduction measures.

To achieve carbon neutrality, the first step is monitoring and evaluation. In May this year, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment put forward the general goal of the monitoring system under the background of dual carbon: by 2025, the carbon monitoring and evaluation system will be basically completed, the monitoring network scope and monitoring elements will be basically covered, and the carbon source and sink assessment technology and methods will be basically mature. To meet the dual-carbon era, do a good job in analyzing and tracing carbon emissions, and adopt scientific and accurate measures to achieve carbon emission reduction, it is necessary to accurately measure, monitor, count and verify carbon budget information. At present, China's carbon monitoring network covers key regions and key cities, and the network density, monitoring elements, and monitoring and evaluation system are in the process of being gradually improved.

"As a supporter of the Paris Agreement and the Science-based Carbon Reduction Initiative, ABB is committed to mitigating global warming and mitigating the potentially devastating consequences of climate change," said Angela Pan, Head of ABB's Measurement and Analytics business in North Asia and China. ABB has a comprehensive range of greenhouse gas monitoring solutions, which can accurately quantify the contribution of various greenhouse gases from cities, industrial infrastructure and agriculture, providing high-value basic data and scientific method support for China's carbon source sink data to be measured, reportable and verifiable."

Comprehensive greenhouse gas monitoring capability enables high-density monitoring

As a global leader in gas analysis technology, ABB provides high-density, three-dimensional monitoring technologies and applications based on a variety of optical absorption principles, from space to land, from fixed pollution sources to atmospheric environmental stations, from point to line and surface measurements.

In space, ABB's Fourier infrared optical equipment has been used in multinational weather satellites to help accurately monitor greenhouse gas emissions and trends for decades. On the newly launched Hugo satellite, ABB has provided optical sensors that can map space methane emissions with a resolution 100 times higher than other sensors, allowing them to focus on smaller areas of monitoring and identify emission sources.

At ground level, ABB gas analyzers cover the field of greenhouse gas emissions monitoring for industrial enterprises based on the principles of non-dispersed infrared (NDIR) and Fourier infrared (FTIR). Based on off-axis integrated cavity output spectroscopy (OA-ICOS), it can meet the requirements of greenhouse gas monitoring at different regional scales in atmospheric environment. These monitoring systems can simultaneously measure multiple components of greenhouse gases, and can also realize synchronous measurement of greenhouse gases and gaseous pollutants, providing a variety of flexible and efficient solutions for different application scenarios.

Provide accurate "yardstick" for carbon budget accounting and evaluation

At present, regional monitoring of greenhouse gases has become a hot spot in the research field of global carbon cycle and climate change. In order to accurately and quantitatively assess the carbon budget and achieve the goal of carbon neutrality, it is necessary to stably and accurately monitor the atmospheric greenhouse gas concentration and its change trend at different spatiotemporal scales over a long period of time, which puts higher requirements on the stability, sensitivity, accuracy and operation convenience of monitoring and evaluation methods and monitoring equipment.
