Zusammenfassung:A method includes determining where to place one or more devices at a site. Each device includes a first sensor configured to measure a concentration of a greenhouse gas (GHG). The method also includes measuring the concentration of the GHG with the first sensors. The method also includes quantifying a rate that the GHG is emitted based at least partially upon the measured concentration of the GHG. The method also includes determining a location of a GHG-emitting source at the site that is emitting the GHG that is measured by the first sensors. The location is determined based at least partially upon the measured concentration, the quantified rate, or both. The method also includes identifying the GHG-emitting source at the determined location by comparing the determined location with a list of a plurality of GHG-emitting sources at the site and locations thereof.
