When methane is measured close to a farm we can be quite sure that the cows are the source. In PARIS we combine measurements with weather models on winds and atmospheric transport over much longer distances, to find out where emissions originate from.
When methane is measured close to a farm we can be quite sure that the cows are the source. In PARIS we combine measurements with weather models on winds and atmospheric transport over much longer distances, to find out where emissions originate from. Under the coordination of Utrecht University, seventeen organizations will be working together over the next four years to improve detection and measurement of all major greenhouse gases in eight European countries. The new insights are vital to improve strategies for greenhouse gas mitigation, and improve the countries' emission reports requested annually by the United Nations. The project, named PARIS received 6 million euros from the Horizon Europe funding programme. Once a year, the RIVM and partners will draw up a National Inventory Report for the Netherlands, and send it to the United Nations. This report will contain an overview of all major greenhouse gas emissions, and is a requirement for all 198 countries that are members of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) : the parent treaty of the 2015 Paris Agreement.
