Satellite observations of nitrous oxide emissions from adipic acid production
Nicholas Balasus, Daniel H. Cusworth
The production of adipic acid generates nitrous oxide as a by-product, which, if emitted, very effectively warms the climate and depletes the stratospheric ozone layer. There exist…
Quantifying AI data center nitrogen oxide (NO) emissions from space
Kevin D. Gauld, Daniel J. Varon, Nicholas Balasus +1
AI data center power demand is spurring rapid deployment of on- and near-site natural gas turbines. The resulting nitrogen oxide NO pollution is a growing concern but has not p…
Mapping ammonia emission plumes using shortwave infrared imaging spectroscopy
Nicholas Balasus, Daniel H. Cusworth, Jinsol Kim +3
Atmospheric ammonia emissions are harmful to ecosystems and human health. These emissions have traditionally been monitored using thermal infrared spectrometers, though such techni…
Quantifying urban and landfill methane emissions in the United States using TROPOMI satellite data
Xiaolin Wang, Daniel J. Jacob, Hannah Nesser +8
Urban areas are major sources of methane due to population needs for landfills, natural gas distribution, wastewater treatment, and residential combustion. Here we apply an inversi…
Satellite monitoring of annual US landfill methane emissions and trends
Nicholas Balasus, Daniel J. Jacob, Gabriel Maxemin +7
We use satellite observations of atmospheric methane from the TROPOMI instrument to estimate total annual methane emissions for 2019-2023 from four large Southeast US landfills wit…
African rice cultivation linked to rising methane
Zichong Chen, Nicholas Balasus, Haipeng Lin +2
Africa has been identified as a major driver of the current rise in atmospheric methane, and this has been attributed to emissions from wetlands and livestock. Here we show that ra…
