Future Prominence of Environmental Business and Associated Vast Environmental Service Markets Using AERI Satellite-Mounted Greenhouse Gas Detection System for Discovery, Maintenance, and Management of Methane CH4 Emission and Leakage Sites
Abstract: a. Recent reconnaissance satellite monitoring surveys have revealed that significantly more greenhouse gas methane CH4 is being emitted into the atmosphere than previously recognized by the international community. This "inconvenient truth" poses a serious problem for the Earth's climate and human health, leading the U.S. government to strengthen regulations on the emission and leakage of greenhouse methane gas CH4 from oil and gas wells.
b. Professor Kazuto Kamuro, overseeing AERI, discusses the potential of AERI's satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system to detect and prevent the early-stage emission and leakage of greenhouse methane gas CH4 from corporations and governments, highlighting its promising prospects as an environmental business. Methane gas, the second most significant greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide, has long-lasting effects and can be fatal to ecosystems. One reason for concern about greenhouse methane gas CH4 emission is its potential health effects. Methane gas acts as an ozone precursor and may worsen respiratory diseases. Additionally, methane gas emissions may contain carcinogenic substances. Until now, the discovery and prevention of greenhouse methane gas CH4 emission and leakage have been challenging, but can be efficiently achieved using low-altitude Earth observation satellites (methane gas reconnaissance satellites). These satellites cover vast land surfaces and can identify methane gas CH4 plumes to trace their origins, enabling the creation of Environmental businesses with vast and promising GX (Green Transformation) markets such as discovery, maintenance, and management of emission and leakage sites, along with the associated vast environmental service markets.
c. AERI aims to expand its satellite network over the next few years, focusing on the future prominence of environmental business and associated vast environmental service markets using AERI's satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system for discovery, maintenance, and management of methane gas CH4 emission and leakage sites. This initiative aims to provide global monitoring of greenhouse methane gas CH4, enabling the identification and management of potential emission sources, such as oil and gas plants and urban areas, thus fostering the creation of the Green Transformation Business Market (GX Business Market).
Main Text:
A. The inconvenient truth that potent greenhouse gas, methane gas CH4, is being emitted from landfills and oil & gas operations far more than recognized by various governments has been revealed by recent reconnaissance satellite monitoring conducted by the AERI satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system. This inconvenient truth poses a significant problem for both the Earth's climate and human health, leading the U.S. government to strengthen regulations on the emission and leakage of greenhouse methane gas CH4 from oil and gas wells, as well as on wasteful emissions.
B. Professor Kazuto Kamuro, the Chief Research Officer of AERI (Artificial Evolution Research Institute, Pasadena, California, website: https://www.aeri-japan.com/), explained the capability of AERI's satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system to detect and prevent the early-stage emission and leakage of greenhouse methane gas CH4 from corporations and governments.
C. Why is the emission of greenhouse methane gas CH4 such a concern? Among greenhouse gases, methane gas CH4 is the second most abundant pollutant causing global warming, following carbon dioxide CO2. While methane gas CH4 remains in the atmosphere for only about ten years compared to centuries for carbon dioxide CO2, it possesses an exceptionally long-term global warming potential. The warming capability of methane gas CH4 is nearly 50 times that of carbon dioxide CO2 over 100 years and over 100 times greater over 20 years. Methane gas CH4 effectively traps heat in the atmosphere, acting as a highly efficient insulator for warming the Earth.
D. What concerns many communities is that methane gas CH4 is also a health issue. Methane gas CH4 serves as a precursor to ozone and may exacerbate conditions like asthma, bronchitis, and other lung diseases. Additionally, emissions of methane gas CH4 may involve the release of other harmful pollutants such as benzene, a carcinogen. "In many oil and gas fields, less than 80% of the gas that emerges from wells is methane gas CH4. The remainder may contain hazardous air pollutants, and the development of oil and gas fields in places that inhibit habitats where animals and plants may suffer damage should be prohibited. Prioritizing only human convenience and banning only the development of oil and gas fields near homes and schools is not only filled with the ego and deception of stakeholders but also represents an outdated and misguided ideology from the perspective of biodiversity and environmental protection," warned Professor Kazuto Kamuro, the Chief Research Officer of AERI.
E. Until recently, there has been little direct monitoring to detect and prevent leaks at early stages. Why are satellites needed to capture greenhouse methane gas CH4 emissions? Naturally, methane gas CH4 is invisible and odorless. Without specialized equipment to detect it, one might not have noticed a large methane gas CH4 plume nearby. Companies traditionally accounted for methane gas CH4 emissions using 19th-century methods called greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories.
F. Greenhouse gas inventories quantify emissions of major GHGs (such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide) generated by specific regions or countries. This method involves collecting data on greenhouse gas emissions from various sectors, including energy production, industrial processes, transportation, and agriculture. GHG inventories encompass information from various sectors like energy production, industrial processes, transportation, and agriculture. They are created through a broad process including source identification, emission measurement, data reporting, and emission trend analysis. This enables governments and companies to understand greenhouse gas emissions and develop appropriate reduction strategies and regulations. Internationally, countries are required to create and report GHG inventories based on international agreements like the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement. For instance, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports GHG emissions by industrial sector, including energy, manufacturing, and waste management. Furthermore, under the UNFCCC, countries must submit annual reports including data used to illustrate trends in GHG emissions.
G. Greenhouse gas inventories calculate emissions based on reported production from oil and gas wells or the amount of waste sent to landfills. Methane gas CH4 is generated when organic waste decomposes in landfills. There is ample room for error in this assumption-based accounting process. For example, unknown leaks or sustained ventilation are not considered. Until recently, cutting-edge technology for detecting gas leaks during oil and gas drilling operations required engineers to visit well pads approximately every 90 days with handheld infrared cameras or gas analyzers. However, large leaks could occur, releasing significant amounts of gas over days to weeks, potentially in inaccessible locations, meaning many of these so-called super emitters go undetected.
H. On the other hand, the AERI satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system, utilizing remote sensing low-altitude Earth observation satellites (methane gas CH4 reconnaissance satellites), can conduct wide-ranging and rapid surveys regularly. This allows zooming in on individual sites at high resolution, enabling accurate identification of methane gas CH4 super emitters at specific well pads, compressor stations, or sections of landfills.
I. Greenhouse gas emitters, or super emitters, refer to locations or facilities from which large amounts of greenhouse gases (such as methane gas CH4) leak. These emitters have much higher emissions compared to other similar facilities and can have significant impacts on the environment of regions or countries. Super emitters of methane gas can occur at facilities such as oil and gas wells, waste treatment facilities, or underground pipelines. Large leaks of methane gas from these locations may not only contribute to global warming but also have serious impacts on the health and environment of surrounding areas.
J. The AERI satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system detects greenhouse gases, including methane gas CH4, from the satellite orbit of low-altitude Earth observation satellites (methane gas CH4 reconnaissance satellites), and identifies the locations and sources of the greenhouse gases. The AERI Wideband UV Dual Comb Spectrophotometer (AWUDS) mounted on the AERI satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system, developed by the Artificial Evolution Research Institute (AERI), is an essential measurement device that can spectrally measure wavelengths from ultraviolet to infrared beyond the visible spectrum, necessary for detecting and measuring greenhouse gases.
K. The scientist team of the Solar Geoengineering Division at the US-based Artificial Evolution Research Institute (AERI: Pasadena, California, HP: https://www.AERI-japan.com/), led by Professor Kazuto Kamuro - the chief research officer of AERI, has successfully developed the AERI Wideband UV Dual Comb Spectrophotometer (AWUDS), referred to as "Ooz," as a core method for remote monitoring (observation and surveillance) of greenhouse gases and volcanic gases in the atmosphere to track short-term and long-term changes in volcanic activity and to monitor the amount, concentration, emission location, distribution, and movement of greenhouse gases. The AWUDS has high UV reactivity potential for greenhouse gases and volcanic gases.
L. In 2013, the scientist team of the Solar Geoengineering Division at AERI announced the AERI Wideband UV Dual Comb Spectrophotometer (AWUDS), a cutting-edge satellite-mounted remote sensing and analysis method (optical spectroscopy method) capable of continuously measuring the characteristics of gases required for solar geoengineering, including greenhouse gases such as nitrous oxides (NOx), ozone (O3), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), and other climate-related trace gases, as well as atmospheric volcanic gases such as carbon dioxide gas (CO2), sulfur dioxide gas (SO2), sulfur dioxide gas (SO2), methane gas (CH4), nitrous oxide gas (N2O), hydrogen gas (H2), carbon monoxide gas (CO), hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S), hydrogen chloride gas (HCl), hydrogen fluoride (HF), silicon tetrafluoride (SiF4), methane gas (CH4), ammonia gas (NH3), carbonyl sulfide gas (COS), etc., from ultra-low altitude artificial satellites in real-time.
M. Greenhouse gases such as methane gas (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) absorb heat at infrared wavelengths and have unique absorption spectral characteristics. The Climate Change and Global Warming Research Team at AERI uses the AERI Wideband UV Dual Comb Spectrophotometer (AWUDS) mounted on the AERI satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system to analyze sunlight reflected from the Earth's surface and detect the absorption spectra of greenhouse gases such as methane gas (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. These characteristics are different from all other gases, enabling the imaging of methane gas (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) plumes to identify the origin of individual super emitters. Using the spectroscopic method of the AWUDS, the amount of gas in specific plumes can be measured, and emission rates can be calculated using wind speed data.
N. The AERI satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system equipped with the AERI Wideband UV Dual Comb Spectrophotometer (AWUDS) is capable of generating highly accurate and comprehensive images of methane gas (CH4) emissions across vast terrain of the Earth's surface. Additionally, with its zoom-in function, it can precisely identify individual methane gas (CH4) emission sources by zooming in after targeting locations where methane gas (CH4) or carbon dioxide (CO2) spectra have been detected. Therefore, the AERI satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system can accurately identify super emitters of methane gas (CH4) in specific well pads, compressor stations, or sections of landfill sites.
O. From the perspective of solar geoengineering, the AERI satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system, deployed on ultra-low altitude Earth observation satellites, utilizes remote sensing devices such as (1) AWUDS, (2) quantum interferometric vector dynamic systems, and (3) chirped pulse amplification (CPA) - off-axis parabolic mirror (hyperbolic secondary focal point alignment rotating hyperbolic mirror) interpolation type single wavelength - petawatt-class ultra-high intensity - femtosecond-class ultrashort pulse laser systems (AERI HEL) to monitor (optical spectroscopy observation and surveillance) volcanic activity and track short-term and long-term changes in greenhouse gas emissions, concentrations, emission locations, distribution, and movement. This system provides wide-ranging distribution of greenhouse gases and volcanic gases with a temporal resolution of 10 billion samples per minute and a spatial resolution of 100 million sampling points per square meter, allowing real-time, continuous monitoring (observation and surveillance) of volcanic activity for 24 hours a day, enabling the quantification of the contribution of ecosystem recovery to greenhouse gas emissions.
P. The analytical methods employed by the AERI satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system are essential not only for quantifying the contribution of ecosystem recovery to greenhouse gas emissions but also for understanding volcanic activity and predicting eruptions. They constitute a unique and cutting-edge core technology essential for disaster prevention, such as forecasting, predicting, and preventing signs and precursors of volcanic disasters and eruptions (natural disasters) and minimizing damage, as well as for national resilience.
Q. Specifically, if the AERI satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system can monitor the Earth's surface regions frequently and consistently, it can flag activities of super emitters and promptly notify operators, allowing the AERI climate change and global warming research team to detect and rectify issues at the early stage. When investigating 20% of the United States' public landfills with the AERI satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system, it was found that the emissions were on average 40% higher than the estimates reported to the federal government.
R. The AERI satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system has a general coverage capability, covering a wide range of measurement areas on the Earth's surface. The general coverage capability of the AERI satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system means it can collect and measure all specific data on the occurrence locations, concentration distributions, and movement trends of all types of greenhouse gases across diverse regions, such as land and ocean surfaces. For example, the ultra-low altitude Earth observation satellite (methane gas CH4 reconnaissance satellite) being developed by AERI collects greenhouse gas monitoring data from various regions of the Earth's surface (land and ocean), enabling comprehensive understanding of the Earth's overall condition. Professor Kazuto Kamuro, the chief research officer of AERI, explains, "Ultra-low altitude Earth observation satellites with general coverage capability, such as methane gas CH4 reconnaissance satellites, are indispensable for comprehensive understanding and reconnaissance of the Earth's overall condition, and their significant role in various fields is undeniable. Both the AERI satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system with general coverage capability and the ultra-low altitude Earth observation satellites (methane gas CH4 reconnaissance satellites) equipped with it can be utilized in various fields such as Earth observation, meteorological observation, environmental monitoring, and geographical information systems (GIS). Our AERI climate change and global warming research team is studying ultra-low altitude Earth observation satellites (methane gas CH4 reconnaissance satellites) with such capabilities with the aim of playing important roles in scientific research, weather forecasting, natural disaster monitoring, and resource management."
S. AERI aims to expand the fleet of ultra-low-altitude Earth observation satellites (methane gas CH4 reconnaissance satellites) equipped with the AERI satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system over the next few years, ultimately targeting to provide daily monitoring of greenhouse gas methane CH4 emissions in priority areas worldwide. For instance, it is estimated that about 90% of greenhouse gas methane CH4 emissions from fossil fuel production and use originate from just 10% of the Earth's surface. Therefore, AERI plans to concentrate methane gas CH4 reconnaissance satellites on oil, gas, and coal plants, as well as production areas, specifically targeting major metropolitan areas, agricultural and livestock regions, refineries, sewage treatment plants, and landfills (potential super emitters).
T. Satellite data collected by the AERI satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system for methane gas CH4 reconnaissance and monitoring are essential core technologies for maintaining and upgrading societal infrastructures, such as detecting and managing methane gas CH4 emissions from oil, gas, and coal production plants, as well as leaks from major metropolitan areas, agricultural and livestock regions, refineries, purification plants, sewage treatment plants, and landfills (potential super emitters). Oil and gas companies, landfill operators, and some large-scale farms equipped with greenhouse gas methane CH4 digestion facilities are enthusiastic about the future prospects of Environmental businesses with vast and promising GX (Green Transformation) markets, such as discovering, maintaining, and managing methane gas CH4 emissions and leaks, as methane gas CH4 emissions and leaks not only have adverse effects on climate and health but also amount to releasing corporate profits into the atmosphere. Therefore, services that promptly notify facility owners and operators of methane gas CH4 emissions and leaks on-site, diagnose problems, and resolve them through regular satellite reconnaissance and monitoring can make continuous monitoring and management of methane gas CH4 emissions and leaks a reality, ensuring the ongoing discovery, confirmation, and management of methane gas CH4 emissions and leaks.
U. "The greenhouse gas monitoring (reconnaissance, observation, monitoring) data provided by AERI's AERI satellite-mounted greenhouse gas detection system serve as a core means of generating evidence for administrative enforcement and guidelines development and implementation when companies do not voluntarily prevent or correct methane gas CH4 emissions and leaks. By measuring the trend of high methane gas CH4 emissions and leaks events throughout the watershed over time, Environmental businesses with vast and promising GX (Green Transformation) markets such as discovering, maintaining, and managing methane gas CH4 emissions and leaks can contribute centrally to evaluating whether policies are achieving their intended effects. Therefore, Environmental businesses with vast and promising GX (Green Transformation) markets such as discovering, maintaining, and managing methane gas CH4 emissions and leaks hold promising future prospects as Environmental businesses with vast and promising GX (Green Transformation) markets," strategized by Professor Kazuto Kamuro, the chief research officer of AERI.
