Can we deliberately increase #methane destruction by OH radicals?
In the Northern mid to high latitudes #CH4 concentration near ground is the highest. 2200ppb is not a rare event in #ICOS measuring stations around Europe.
So deploying our radicals would be more efficient there.
What do we already have that has NOx aplenty and can be bombarded with UV to create OH?
Maybe every greenhouse in the Netherlands.. Oh, is UV and ozone bad for plants? Ozone is the step between NOx and OH.
Workers in the greenhouses would have to wear WW2 gas masks and full body lead suits, would they not...
uhm.
So better no UV in a walled-in room like a greenhouse.
In case UV is not bad for plants,
we can fasten UV lights underneath #agriPV where wind dissipates the toxic ozone !
And where wind also automatically replenishes CH4 and NOx.
And for maximum usefulness, the UV lights are cased in with a thin wire mesh on which the water vapour can condensate that is a byproduct of the CH4 bombing. The droplets are then channelled into ground water. Or pipelined to Southern Europe.
Ah. even better.
AgriPV with UV underneath directly in Southern Europe, where the harvested water can also be used directly.
