CMERI MISSION

"The Center for Methane Emission Research and Innovation (CMERI) at UC Merced takes closed-loop thinking (sensing/actuation) for taking climate actions against methane emissions due to both environmental and anthropogenic emissions. CMERI aims to develop actionable information from methane emission sensing and quantification for emission reduction and mitigation actions, and to contribute to education, outreach and workforce development for disadvantaged communities."

RESEARCH DIRECTIONS

CMERI's research focuses on "methane negative technologies" including those within the biogas and biochar sectors. CMERI is also focused on methane measurement, and quantification technologies, as well as methane localization technologies that are used to understand emission sources and their attributions.
