Carbon Capture & Storage
Case Study: University of Wyoming
Researchers at University of Wyoming’s (UW) Center for Economic Geology Research (CEGR) needed a way to monitor the baseline of CO2 at Dry Fork Station (Gillette, Wyoming) to compare to future readings if the area becomes a CO2 sequestration site. Their goal was to obtain CO2 measurements across a synchronized set of distributed systems without driving to each site and recording measurements manually.
CEGR’s systems leveraged EDG's IoT platform to create a fully automated and wireless network of distributed systems that enables CEGR research scientists to monitor CO2 readings from their offices. Power to each system is regulated by EDG’s smart-battery charger, which sources power from a solar panel and lithium ion battery, resulting in a cable-free solution for their field sites.
Read the case study to learn how CERG research scientists saved time and money using EDG’s off-the-shelf platform to obtain data quantities orders of magnitude larger than traditional manual approaches to measuring CO2.
