Technology and innovation are shaping the future of environmental protection and decarbonisation ?? The?Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation recently shared an interesting story about sniffer drones being used to monitor air quality, detect pollutants, and safeguard Queensland’s ecosystems. This cutting-edge initiative highlights how innovation can drive meaningful change in environmental management. At the Resources Centre of Excellence, we share this vision through our Decarbonisation Accelerated project. Our focus is on securing the future of traditional industries in the Greater Whitsunday region while laying the foundation for thriving, decarbonised sectors like renewable energy, critical minerals, the circular economy, biomanufacturing, and more. As businesses across all industries work toward demonstrating their decarbonisation efforts to remain competitive, stories like this remind us of the critical role technology and collaboration play in building a sustainable future. How is your industry leveraging innovation to support decarbonisation? Let’s start the conversation!?? #decarbonisationaccelerated

Did you know? Sniffer drones are playing a pivotal role in Queensland's environmental regulation efforts by detecting air pollutants, monitoring emissions, and ensuring compliance with environmental standards. ??? These advanced drones allow our officers to access hard-to-reach areas, providing real-time data that helps us maintain the delicate balance of our ecosystems. ?By identifying potential hazards early, we can take swift action to mitigate risks and safeguard our natural resources. ??? How do you see technology like this shaping the future of environmental protection? ???? This flight was compliant with all CASA regulations.? #QueenslandEnvironment

I was thinking of a marine drone startup. The primary function would be maintenance of seaways and riverways. To maintain their ecology. How can you finance such a project. Reduction in waste equity bonds. Let us say that a river or canal is polluted this has a huge impact on the environment and of course well being and tourism. Using Pareto's principle of 80/20 one could say that there is a ten percent waste equity - one could use this as collateral to finance a building and factory dedicated to marine drones. Use green bank investment and seek to employ locally and use restart to kick off new green employment. The drone technology could be used in export know-how with strict controls on its use - only in civilian usage. This could be used in cities and towns. suffering from deprivation and stagnation. #greentechnology #drones #urbandevelopment #circulareconomy #pareto #rivers

Would be interesting to know where other EU countries stand in terms of the amount and types of permits granted for UAS operations within the Specific Category. Share your thoughts, links, or insights if you have them!

Check out this great initiative by Saudi authorities to use innovative drone technology for the protection of precious green habitats in the region. Drones can be very useful when utilized for peaceful purposes. #SaudiArabia #Innovation #DroneTechnology #GreenHabitats

Does reforestation by drone work... It certainly does! 6 months after we broadcast a mix of Alder, Aspen, Birch, Rowan and Willow seeds on the heathland above Roshven for Ed Townley, he was back up the mountain to see what was growing. The results were WAY ABOVE expectations! Rather than the 1% germination rate we'd expected, it looks like it's anywhere between 6% & 10%. Soon this dramatic landscape will be home will be home to a native mix of trees providing cover for wildlife and bringing back the diversity lost over the years. Couldn't have done this without Kevin Gornall from QuadRotor Services Ltd help. If you think agri drone operations might be the right fit for your business, here are couple of useful links...

RESTORING HABITAT WITH DRONE TECHNOLOGY By Alison Menefee, Virginia Senior Farm Bill Biologist Something new and exciting is taking off in the world of habitat management. It’s soaring among the sweetgums and hovering above the sericea lespedeza, ready to strike. However, its ability to target and eradicate invasive species is balanced by its capacity for reintroducing native habitat. Drones, also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), have become a popular topic of research due to their ability to effectively suppress undesired herbaceous and woody vegetation. They offer a dynamic approach to conservation efforts and significantly boost application efficiency, making them a cost-effective solution. Chapter member and habitat chair, Jake Fletcher, has recently started using drones as a conservation tool for efforts across central and eastern Virginia. Due to the mobility and efficiency of the equipment, he has been able to impact more acres for northern bobwhites than using traditional equipment. Not only are they able to quickly herbicide an area, but they can also quickly plant a diverse blend of native grasses, forbs, and legumes utilized by quail for food, cover, and shelter.

Sweden is often considered an innovative country with a vast geography of remote and urban environments. These two factors should position Sweden as an ideal location for scalable drone solutions. ???? According to the searchable database provided by the Swedish Transport Agency, there are currently 30 granted permits to operate UAS within the Specific Category. Half of these permits enable BVLOS operations. This is good, but I want to see more. Scaling drone operations heavily relies on the regulatory framework, but it also depends on the people, ideas, and technology that are put in place to pave the way for the Swedish and global drone industry. To name just a few examples of the innovators helping pave the way in Sweden today: From creating the ability to order hassle-free delivery of everyday essentials for remote residents in the archipelago by Aerit, to providing life-changing rapid access to defibrillators thanks to Everdrone AB - these are both solutions I wish were accessible near me and for thousands of others. ???? Airpelago is out here and around Europe making sure our infrastructure remains intact thanks to their cutting-edge inspection software. ?? Meanwhile, AirForestry is reinventing how we work in the forestry industry with their impressive harvesting drone. ?? Let's keep innovating and reaching for scalability in drone operations. ??

Very interesting that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was the first to approve the use of an unmanned aerial system (UAS) for monitoring methane emissions. The test method, utilizing UAV/Drones, provides confidence in inspection through greater process control, data management, and professional reporting.??As more states, currently California, Oregon, Maryland (and now Washington) require methane emission rules. Do you think that the potential for UAV/Drone growth will be impacted, with added benefits of increased worker safety, and improved efficiency/effectiveness? "Washington State?Department of Ecology?announced a new methane emission rule for active and closed solid waste landfills in their state. All affected landfills must meet the requirements starting?January 1, 2025. The announcement is narrowly focused on new requirements specific to surface emissions monitoring (SEM).??Washington’s?new requirements mirror those of?California,?Oregon?and?Maryland, requiring:? a) SEM inspection performed by a field technician traversing in a serpentine path with no more than 25-ft spacing between the inspection paths. Instantaneous and integrated surface emissions reporting.? b) SEM operations restricted to a maximum average and instantaneous wind speed and cannot be performed earlier than 72 hours after precipitation." "While the new rule will drive greater accountability for methane emissions, it will also lead to increased labor costs and technicians’ exposure to hazards by increasing their inspection time threefold.??Washington?has alleviated these concerns by allowing the use of a UAV/Drones to perform work that would otherwise be performed manually.?The UAV/Drone (an Unmanned Aerial System referred to as the?SnifferDRONE?) performs the inspection 50% faster, thus reducing technician’s exposure to hazards, while improving the effectiveness of detecting methane emissions and their leak sources.?" "Industry leaders in?Washington?began using the SnifferDRONE?for landfill emission monitoring in 2023. These early adopters recognized the opportunity to improve the environment and their operations. We congratulate these leaders for their vision and thank them for making a difference. We look forward to continuing our work in the state and beyond to improve the methods for detecting and accounting for landfill methane emissions." #uav #uas #drones #snifferuas #methanemonitoring https://lnkd.in/eX8MEsDC
