Aeromotus supplies drones to create a carbon landfill in Bashkiria

2021: Use of drones as part of the carbon polygon program

As part of the technical scientifically program, Bashkir State Agrarian University together with the scientific community, he is working on the preparation of a project to create the eighth carbon landfill. For the efficiency of the specialists, the company Aeromotus supplies to the landfill, as unmanned aerial vehicles well as conducts commissioning and training specialists. This was announced on November 2, 2021 by Aeromotus.

The eighth carbon landfill will consist of forest territory and agricultural land. The total area of ​ ​ the landfill will be about 200 hectares (55% forest and 45% soil). At the first stage of the project, reference areas are identified, where research will be carried out in the future, aimed at studying the processes of carbon release and absorption and a number of greenhouse gases, as well as which biotope plants are most effective in this process. This will make it possible to assess what carbon footprint Russia leaves at the level of the EU and the world as a whole. It is expected that the project will positively affect the improvement of the environmental situation in the Bashkir Republic.

The project is implemented with the support Bashkir state of the agricultural university (BashGAU), and the Ufa State Petroleum Technical University (UGNTU) Ufa scientific center. RAS The key task BASHGAU is to attract students and graduate students (including international students) to the program. Students, according to the information company, are interested in the project and are ready to start work at the carbon landfill and perform processing tasks. data

BashGAU has been using unmanned technologies for more than 7 years. Initially, the university's arsenal had UAV an aircraft type. At the beginning of November 2021, technologies known throughout the world are used to work at carbon landfills. In particular, both ground-based instruments and stations for determining carbon absorption and UAVs with installed gas analyzers, systems laser scannings and aerial photographs are used.

Thanks to photography, the project participants can obtain all the necessary data for creating a detailed orthophotoplane of the territory and a digital model of the area. The use of photogrammetry methods is most justified in the territory of agricultural destination. A laser scanner is typically used to create a three-dimensional pattern on a forest area. Using it, you can study the surface of the earth, determine the height of trees and shrubs. All this allows you to obtain up-to-date data on changes in greenhouse gas absorption in the territory of landfills, as well as to build a detailed 3D model.

As part of the carbon landfill program, Aeromotus supplies the necessary equipment, as well as conducts commissioning and training of operators on the spot. Representatives of BashGAU note that UAVs and payloads were quickly delivered, and technical support was provided in 24/7 mode.

Aeromotus experts advise in detail at each stage of cooperation, answer all questions that users have and provide support. BashGAU intends to cooperate with Aeromotus in the future. In the near future - the following deliveries of industrial UAVs and related equipment.

Drones significantly simplify the process of observing 200 hectares of forest territory and agricultural terrain. Thanks to UAVs, most of the work can be done remotely - both labor and time costs are reduced. With the help of unmanned technologies, it is possible to obtain more accurate and detailed data, due to a variety of solutions: shooting with spectral cameras, laser scanning and the use of gas analyzers. The available software allows you to process the data quickly enough.

Another feature of drones is the ability to work in almost any weather and at any time. In addition, one industrial platform is able to lift a whole set of payloads into the air.
