Gas detection at COP27: waste, conventions and hydrogen TALKING POINT


This year’s Conference of the Parties to the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change, otherwise known as COP, is taking place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. It has an expansive programme, with all aspects of the climate crisis to be brought under the microscope. As always, the Conference will focus on delineating the fi nancial, legal and regulatory structures necessary for the restriction of global warming to temperatures less than 2°C above pre-industrial levels.


One of the sessions on the agenda is entitled ‘Reinventing Waste Solutions for a Better Future’, in which a panel of Egyptian ministers will discuss the present and future of the waste-management ecosystem in Africa. Given that waste is a signifi cant source of greenhouse gases like methane, measures to curb these emissions will be vital in global eff orts to reverse the trend of warming. Ultimately, the session aims to introduce delegates to a range of practicable solutions and on-the-ground projects. It is expected to consider new monitoring conventions and frameworks for compliance.


Relatedly, conventions on the monitoring of carbon emissions, in particular, are set to be re-considered. In a session entitled ‘Harmonizing our Eff orts’, delegates will address global and regional environmental conventions, assessments and outlooks. In order to focus on recent results from assessment processes, the session will consider a number of reports, including the Global


Environment Outlook, the Africa Environment Outlook, the World Health Organisation’s Health and Climate Change Survey, and the Emissions Gap. The discussion will centre on what the data can tell us about the effi cacy of current and past environmental policies in the interest of identifying options for the future, as well as reviewing monitoring protocols and challenges.


Besides waste management and the harmonisation of conventions, COP27, like COP26, is placing a particular emphasis on the potentials of hydrogen as a green energy-source, devoting a number of sessions to the topics during Energy Day. In a session entitled ‘Policies: A Catalyser for the Energy Transition and Sustainable Development’, panels will imagine a transition from global dependency on fossil fuels to renewables-based economy, with a particular emphasis on the development of broad-based value-chains for green hydrogen, of which quality assurance and secure transportation are integral links. It is posited that green hydrogen and its derivatives (e.g., green ammonia and e-fuels) will be critical to reduce the emissions of hard-to-abate and hard-to-electrify sectors such as heavy industries, aviation, shipping and heavy road transportation. In order to meet these challenges, the session will bring together technological innovators, policy experts, regulators, economists, and fi nancial leaders to discuss the latest developments in this fi eld and the mechanisms required to scale-up these solutions.


New, compact, versatile and connected fi ve-gas personal monitor enables users to reliably detect VOCs while improving situational awareness and more


New Lead-Free Potentiostatic Electrolysis- type Oxygen Sensor TGS4260


Features: • Lead-free


• Wide measuring range • Wide temperature range • Quick response to Oxygen


Applications: • Oxygen concentration monitors • Stationary O2 • Portable O2


detectors detectors • Multi-gas detectors Figaro Engineering Inc. is pleased to announce its latest offering – the fast response, lead-free Oxygen sensor TGS4260.


TGS4260 is a potentiostatic electrolysis-type oxygen sensor which has high repeatability and selectivity to Oxygen. It is possible to measure a wide range of oxygen concentrations with quick response and high accuracy in a wide operating temperature range. That makes it compliant with the technical requirements of relevant US and European standards.


TGS4260 is housed in the 20mm industrial standard packages. It is easy to incorporate this sensor in size-oriented applications such as portable oxygen detectors and multi-gas detectors.

Industrial Scientifi c has introduced a new PID (Photo-Ionisation Detector) sensor for the Ventis®


Pro5 Multi-Gas Monitor,


making it the most compact, versatile, and connected fi ve-gas personal monitor available that can reliably detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs).


Whether users are gearing up for confi ned space entries or preparing their emergency response efforts, the Ventis Pro5 with PID sensor allows users to detect VOCs with their personal monitor, reducing the need for additional bulky handheld monitors and supplementary devices.

Additionally, with peer-to-peer, satellite, wi-fi , and cellular connectivity options, the Ventis Pro5 continues to increase situational awareness and decrease emergency response times by sharing real- time location data, man-down alarms, and gas alerts (including VOC exposure), so safety teams immediately know who needs help, what happened, and where they’re located.


“This new sensor option for the Ventis Pro5 gives customers an opportunity to reliably detect standard gases and volatile organic compounds, in one compact solution without adding a second, bulky device,” says Parker Burke, president, Industrial Scientifi c. “The Ventis Pro5 with PID sensor increases safety of employees by equipping everyone with the ability to detect VOCs while reducing fl eet sizes and maintenance pains. This exciting expansion of the safety benefi ts of our user-friendly and reliable monitors moves us closer to achieving Our Vision of ending death on the job by 2050.”
