Carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions into the atmosphere are the strongest anthropogenic drivers of global climate change. Mitigation strategies rely on precise knowledge of the strength and distribution of these greenhouse gas sources. Spectroscopic techniques emerge that enable imaging of atmospheric CO2 and CH4 plumes from strong point sources and thus, facility-scale emission estimates.
We show results of CO2 and CH4 emission plume images from ground-based observations with a NEO HySpex SWIR-384 hyperspectral camera. The camera takes images of sky-scattered sunlight in the shortwave-infrared range (1-2.5 µm) at kilometer distance to point sources. An adapted matched filter retrieval is used to calculate atmospheric enhancements of CO2 and CH4 from their 2 µm absorption bands. We present CO2 emission plumes of a medium-sized power plant (>4.9 MtCO2/yr), which we detect reliably in hourly averaged spectral images. Furthermore, we successfully observed methane plumes from a coal mine shaft in Silesia, Poland, with a temporal resolution of roughly 1 minute, discovering emission dynamics on time scales from minutes to days.
