Controlling and Monitoring Greenhouse Gas Emissions using CPS and GHG Sensors

We developed a greenhouse gas monitoring mechanism based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) to mitigate global warming by controlling and monitoring greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions have a significant impact on climate change and have negative effects on the environment and economy. Therefore, effectively controlling and reducing greenhouse gas emissions is an important task in the current global economic and environmental agenda. We investigated the use of CPS architecture and greenhouse gas sensors to regulate and record greenhouse gas emissions. The current measurement data from greenhouse gas sensors only provide concentration, which is not effective in correlating it with the potential impact of global warming. However, through the CPS, computer systems can consider parameters such as the molecular weight and atmospheric pressure of gases. Thus, we propose a conversion mechanism based on the composition of the two main greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide and methane and their impact on global warming. We suggested that a database be used to continuously record the carbon emission impact over time to have greenhouse gas sensors using CPS architecture better assess emission problems and develop more effective control measures.
