Quantum-enabled LIDAR Can Spot Methane Leaks From Oil, Natural Gas Extractions
The Quantum Daily, April 2021
Not actually quantum computing on this occasion but in the confused world we live in, good news with the word “quantum” creates a positive halo effect for QC. And anything that helps in the battle against climate change is good news!
A quantum-enabled gas imaging Lidar camera able to visualise and quantify methane leaks caused by oil and natural gas extraction and use has been developed by QLM Technology Ltd, based in Bristol, according to a company statement.
Supported by BP, National Grid, AMETEK Land, and the UK Government, the camera represents a step-change in measuring emissions of methane, the second most damaging greenhouse gas.
Going atomic scale with quantum computing in the power sector
Smart Energy International, March 2021
This article introduces quantum computing in the context of utility grids.
Load balancing is becoming more and more complex as the power system decentralises. As the numbers of distributed energy resources and other grid connected devices grow and consumption trends become more erratic, the computations become more difficult and time consuming, making this a prime use case for the power of quantum computing.
