The project involves the development of an underwater methane sensor designed to detect and monitor methane gas emissions from various underwater sources. This sensor aims to address the environmental concerns associated with methane, a potent greenhouse gas, by providing real-time data on methane levels in marine ecosystems. The sensor is expected to play a crucial role in environmental monitoring, helping in the detection of methane leaks from subsea infrastructure such as pipelines, and in research related to methane hydrate deposits. It will also contribute to efforts in mitigating the impact of methane on climate change.
