GAS DETECTION 5
New landfill methane emission monitoring intelligence platform
Recycle2Trade, an environmental sector ICT specialist, has signed up to the national SPRINT business support programme. SPRINT funding will enable Recycle2Trade to collaborate with the University of Leicester on a project that will use satellite observations of landfills to detect gas emissions and damage to surrounding vegetation.
The SPRINT project will support Recycle2Trade’s
development of a Machine Learning-based data intelligence platform to monitor landfill sites, integrating Internet of Things (IoT) ground detection systems and satellite data from Sentinel-5p and Sentinel-2 missions. This cloud-based solution will provide site operators early warning of emissions, enabling them to take actions to prevent asset damages and therefore reducing the risks for insurance companies.
Recycle2Trade Ltd will collaborate with the University of Leicester to test the feasibility of the Earth Observation component of the platform. The University of Leicester will develop a feasibility study and test approaches for the satellite detection of methane emissions at landfill sites, and for the satellite detection of vegetation health changes in the proximity of landfills due to accidents or mismanagement. The project will involve two research teams from the University of Leicester - the Greenhouse Gas Remote Sensing team within the Earth Observation Science group and the Centre for Landscape and Climate Research.
The project will be funded by a grant from the £5 million SPRINT (SPace Research and Innovation Network for Technology) programme that provides unprecedented access to university space expertise and facilities. SPRINT helps businesses through the commercial exploitation of space data and technologies.
Yuri Ponzani, Managing Director of Recycle2Trade said: “We’ve been working on a concept for this innovative project for 15 months and this opportunity to utilise university expertise in satellite data analysis will accelerate us towards the next stage of our technical development.
“In the future, we may look into other sources of data, possibly working with the University of Leicester on other key projects with new opportunities for further innovation.”
Hartmut Boesch, Professor in Earth Observation Science (EOS) at the University of Leicester added: “We’re supporting Recycle2Trade with the analysis of satellite imagery for this feasibility study, focusing on understanding how data can be leveraged to identify methane leakages from landfill sites and the effect of vegetation health, forest and agriculture, and soil pollution.
“The SPRINT project is really exciting for the University and will expand our knowledge base to new fields of research.”
Heiko Balzter, Director of the Centre for Landscape and Climate Research, at the University of Leicester explained: “In this project, we are investigating whether satellites can see where plants are suffering from stress due to pollution from landfill sites. If we succeed, then we hope this will lead to better mitigation measures and targeted remediation.”

Reliable, compact and versatile CO2
monitor offers affordable safety
The latest product release from International Gas Detectors (IGD) is the iGAS, a robust, compact, easy to maintain and affordable portable carbon dioxide detector. This versatile instrument will be ideal for use in a host of environments and a wide variety of applications from hospitals, to breweries to laboratories – even for personnel utilising dry ice in conjunction with the new COVID vaccine.
With a fusion of the latest low powered infrared sensors and leading lithium- ion battery technology, iGAS has the longest battery run time in the industry. In addition, utilising the latest lithium-Ion batteries means that less charge time is needed thus offering a run time exceeding 7 days on one charge. This results in less downtime between charges, thereby avoiding a major drawback ubiquitous to other personal CO2
monitors.
The versatility of iGAS is significantly enhanced with flexible USB charging, which helps make it suited to many applications. Operators have options when charging the iGAS, including in-car, PC or laptop charging or using the included international charger. For users who need to store health and safety record, the iGAS has full alarm record storage, which can be downloaded to a PC or laptop via USB.
