Resumo
Recent studies indicate that human-induced emissions of non-CO2 greenhouse gases (GHGs),
particularly methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) from agricultural activities, constitute a progressively
larger share of total GHG emissions, even in the presence of stringent mitigation measures. These
findings underscore the possibility that the objectives outlined in the Paris Agreement, aimed at limiting
the global temperature rise to 1.5 to 2°C, may prove challenging to achieve. Within the framework of
GHG reduction strategies, an additional obstacle emerges in effectively monitoring CH4 emissions from
flares employed in the fossil fuel industry. Studies reveal that due to the low burning efficiency of flares,
approximately 90% of methane destruction is achieved. This inefficiency translates to an estimated 4
to 10% increase in methane emissions beyond the projections, particularly noteworthy in the context
of the United States. To establish a robust mitigation process for methane and greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions, the implementation of an efficient emissions monitoring system is imperative. Addressing
this need, the Flare And Methane Emission System (FAMES) project is currently in progress, aiming
to monitor greenhouse gas and particulate matter emissions in flares installed on FPSO (Floating
Production, Storage, and Offloading) platforms. This is achieved through the utilization of a Rayleigh-
Mie and Raman scattering lidar system. The primary objective of the FAMES project is to provide nearreal-
time monitoring of the optical properties of particulate matter and GHGs such as methane and
CO2. This allows for the estimation of methane concentration, contributing to the optimization of the
burning process and facilitating an assessment of operational processes in industrial production lines.
In this work we intend to present the development of the conceptual design and initial quality tests of
the lidar system.
