Title Supporting the development of a new carbon credit market Media name/outlet Teesside University Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 13/12/24 Description The University has an ongoing relationship with Stockton-based Scott Bros and has worked on several projects looking at to how to utilise waste materials to support a net zero economy.
In this latest project the two organisations will look at how best to use remote technology to monitor how effectively carbon is being sequestered by an ‘artificial soil’ created through previous research and collaboration activities.
By establishing an effective method of measuring the carbon capture abilities of the soil the research will enable Scott Bros to enter into the carbon credit marketplace and derive income from carbon sequestration schemes.
Through the development of a new digital remediation function the business can create an external service giving access to land and the digital remediation facilities to other landowners wishing to measure the carbon performance of their waste.
To support the research Scott Bros and the Teesside University have entered into a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP), a three-way collaboration, part-funded by Innovate UK, between a business, an academic partner and a recent graduate to deliver a strategic innovation project to drive business and growth and innovation.
Eghe Ikponmwosa-Eweka has been employed as a KTP Associate to support the project.
The KTP will investigate how artificial intelligence and internet of things (AIoT) technology can be used to evaluate Soil Carbon Content (SCC) thereby improving Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of carbon capture.
Existing MRV methods are not credible to drive effective carbon credits as they struggle to precisely evaluate SCC for many reasons, including data quality and manual and error-prone monitoring infrastructure.
Therefore, an intelligent MRV framework utilising AIoT expertise is needed to precisely measure and understand the sources of emissions and trends to design appropriate mitigation strategies, assess the efficacy of such strategies, and support their market credibility and public perception.URL https://www.tees.ac.uk/sections/business/news_story.cfm?story_id=8646 Persons Sina Rezaei Gomari, David Hughes
