Rice fields are one of the main sources of methane emissions worldwide. About 8% of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions come from rice cultivation and rice fields account for 12% of global anthropogenic methane emissions, which has a significant impact on global climate change.
Methane in rice fields mainly comes from the anaerobic environment near the rice roots and is produced when organic matter decomposes in the soil. Methane emissions are affected by factors including rice planting management, soil type, climatic conditions, and water level and temperature. Although methane itself does not directly affect rice growth, excessive emissions usually indicate that the soil is hypoxic, which may inhibit nutrient and water absorption by rice roots, thereby affecting growth and yield. In addition, the methane production process may change soil structure and fertility, affecting long-term soil health. Therefore, it is very important to monitor methane emissions so that farmers can better manage agricultural production, optimize agricultural practices including irrigation and fertilization, to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the environmental sustainability of agriculture.
As an enterprise with the awareness of sustainability and responsibility, Cubic, a leading manufacturer of gas sensors and gas analyzers, is devoted to providing effective gas sensing solutions to greenhouse gas emissions monitoring. By leveraging mature TDLAS technology, Cubic has developed a high-precision methane sensor, Gasboard-2502, that achieves a minimum detection limit of 1ppm and a resolution of 0.1ppm, effectively monitoring methane emissions in rice fields.
Based on the temperature compensation algorithm and self-diagnosis function, it ensures stable performance even in harsh working conditions and complex environments. It boasts fast response times with a warm-up time of less than 10 seconds. Gasboard-2502 also has an intelligent power consumption design and a long lifespan of more than 10 years.
In addition to high-precision methane sensors, Cubic has also developed an innovative methane monitoring system, which is a state-of-the-art methane sensing solution to realize superior methane selectivity, and ultra-high resolution. Due to its smart algorithm mechanism to fulfill flexible temperature and humidity compensation, it enables detection unit well adapt to variable outdoor environmental factor impact such as condensation, dust and extreme weather. Simultaneously, extended with wind direction and speed sensor, it captures real-time complete weather information for leak traceability. The integrated solar panel with built-in battery, intelligent power consumption management, and scalable wireless communication module, make it self-sustaining and perfect for field methane sensing scenarios.
With accurate real-time methane detection and monitoring, Cubic innovative methane sensing solutions can play a crucial role in managing methane emissions levels in rice fields and helping enhance sustainability in agricultural operations.
