GHG monitoring system in paddy field, Bihar
Scholar Lab Foundation is implementing a GHG Monitoring System in Paddy Fields, Bihar to monitor greenhouse gas emissions and soil conditions in real time. This project integrates advanced sensor technology with sustainable energy solutions to track methane (CH₄) levels and soil health parameters (pH, temperature, and moisture) while enabling farmers, researchers, and policymakers to act on data-driven insights for climate resilience.
- System Capabilities: Real-time measurement of methane concentration, soil pH, moisture, and temperature with continuous cloud integration for monitoring and analysis.
- Power & Connectivity: Operates on solar grid supply with battery backup, supported by an M2M SIM for continuous data transfer, offline data logging, and auto-sync.
- Durability & Maintenance: Rugged IP65 weatherproof enclosure with remote diagnostics, 1-year warranty, and free maintenance for hardware and embedded software.
- Safety & Reliability Solutions: Anti-theft alert system, sensor data anomaly monitoring, protective cage enclosure, concrete foundation for stability, and denoising & self-calibration techniques.
Project Status
- Design Document Version 1 completed
- Procurement of sensors and microcontroller completed
- Procurement of solar panel and enclosure scheduled for this week
- Device firmware developed; initial site testing completed
Upcoming Milestones
- Feedback integration for portal content, trends, KPI monitoring, and prediction
- Finalization of exact site location and logistics (including stay arrangements)
- Cage fabrication and protective enclosure setup
- Concrete mounting with silicone vibration padding for system stability
- Battery charging facility establishment and continuous Internet support
