Context

Converging circumstances:

• urgent need for CO₂ monitoring systems at national and smaller scales for both anthropogenic and biogenic fluxes
• developing LORA networks and Internet of things
• CO₂ sensors getting more and more miniaturized, affordable and reliable

Approach

• establish quality control strategy for low cost sensors
• deploy numerous sensors in Switzerland to monitor variability and distribution of CO₂ concentrations
• design modelling system to trace CO₂ emissions

Expected outcomes

• tested operational deployable low cost sensors
• CO₂ emission monitoring
• LORA network performance assessment
