Research on LoRa-based carbon emission monitoring system

Abstract

At present, the monitoring of carbon emissions is the main basis for achieving China's carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutral by 2060, and it is also the most effective and important tool for building ecological civilization and achieving carbon peak and carbon neutral goals in each country. With the advancement of technology and the widespread use of the IOT, accurate monitoring systems were once a hot topic of discussion. This paper addresses the problem of accurate monitoring and designs and implements an IoT-based CO2 multi-point monitoring system, monitoring of CO2 as well as CH4 emissions. The monitoring system consists of a data collection and transmission as well as a supervisory platform. The collection terminals use LoRa low-power wireless transmission network to transmit data such as CO2 and CH4 values in real time to the gateway node, which transmits the data to the server by WI-FI network. The web monitoring interface was designed to display the collected CO2, CH4 and terminal location information in real time and to store the data through a MySQL database. Experimental tests have shown that the system can accurately monitor the amount of CO2 data and send data quickly and steadily, enabling real-time monitoring of complex environmental information from remote locations.
