Climate change, global warming, and LEDs

December 10, 2015

Can mid-infrared LEDs impact global warming through Internet of Things  sensing for methane & CO2?

We think so!

After reviewing this article written by Beatrice Gitau of the Christian Science Monitor about methane gas leaking from the ocean floor, we got to thinking “What if our mid-infrared LEDs, or QuiC SLEDs as we call them, could impact global warming by early detection of methane and carbon dioxide gases by just a few percent? Would that matter?”

Here is a quote from the article that I found interesting:

In 2013, methane accounted for about 10 percent of all US greenhouse gas emissions from human activities according to EPA. Although there’s much less methane in the atmosphere, the gas is 23 times more potent than carbon dioxidein trapping heat in the atmosphere.

We look forward to doing our part in global warming and climate change.

You are welcome.
