The Challenge | Rise to Resilience!
You are a newly appointed Regional Green Engineer. Your challenge is to develop green infrastructure solutions for complex challenges in water management and risk reduction.Create a tool to assess the characteristics of an urban or rural area of your choice, and integrate green infrastructures, or nature-based solutions, into that region’s development plans to1) reduce flood and/or drought risk2) establish sustainable land use practices3) support water management, and/or 4) produce local economic opportunities.
Project BOG
Project BOG is the extraction and subsequent use of swamp gas or biogas for industrial purposes.
Project BOG is the extraction and subsequent use of swamp gas or biogas for industrial purposes.
Segregation of the main component of biogas (methane) helps to prevent its emissions into the atmosphere, and also helps to clean water bodies. Methane has an effect on the greenhouse effect 21 times stronger than CO2, and has been in the atmosphere for 12 years. Capturing methane is the best short-term way to prevent global warming.
In Project BOG we use data from NASA satellites Landsat-7, Spot, Pectypc. According to estimates, in 2010 in Western Siberia, methane emission is 3,200,000 tons / year. According to world statistics, this number can be up to 240 million tons / year.
