How to turn a standard drill-hole probe into a methane leak detector
In short: This session explores a practical method for measuring gas volumes emitted from leaks. By modifying standard utility equipment, participants learn how to harness community science to directly support climate action and carbon reduction efforts.
Part of the MIT RES.ENV-001 Climate Action Hands-On course, this working session focuses on the technical modification of drill-hole probes used by utility crews. The goal is to enable more accurate measurements of the volume of gas escaping from leaks, providing a tool for communities to actively participate in cutting carbon emissions.
