  • 摘要: 作为温室气体的重要来源,煤矿甲烷排放对全球气候变化构成严峻挑战,其监测与评估已成为国内外研究者高度关注并持续开展的重点研究领域。遥感因其具有覆盖范围广、空间分辨率较高和实时动态监测的技术优势,已成为煤矿甲烷排放监测与评估研究的重要技术手段。针对煤矿甲烷排放监测存在的多尺度覆盖不足、动态追踪能力有限及多平台协同薄弱等问题,系统评述了煤矿甲烷排放监测的主要技术平台系统、浓度反演和排放量化方法的研究进展,包括基于卫星、航空、无人机和地面平台的监测方法,甲烷浓度反演技术的全物理算法、CO2代理法和匹配滤波法等,以及排放量化的高斯羽流模型、综合质量增强法、源像素法和横截面通量法等。提出了“空天地协同一体化煤矿甲烷监测体系(CMM-GUS)”,通过地面固定站点、无人机集群与高光谱卫星的多级协同观测,结合贝叶斯优化反演模型与“误差传递链”量化方法,实现矿区甲烷排放的“由点到面”全尺度覆盖监测。通过查阅大量涉及煤矿甲烷遥感监测技术的文章发现:不同监测平台技术适用于不同空间尺度和应用场景的甲烷监测需求,各具特色。卫星遥感适合大范围排放趋势分析,航空和无人机平台则在中小尺度高精度监测中具有独特优势,而地面观测则为不同尺度的遥感监测结果校准与验证提供了关键数据支持。现有的“自下而上”和“自上而下”等煤矿甲烷遥感监测浓度反演和排放量化技术体系,在精度、适用性及动态监测能力等方面正在不断发展、进化,为甲烷排放的粗略评估提供了有力工具。可通过进一步整合“自下而上”与“自上而下”方法,实现优势互补与校正。当前煤矿甲烷遥感监测仍面临高分辨率遥感数据获取困难、复杂地形与大气条件影响、遥感数据的不确定性、以及多平台协同不足等挑战。通过构建多平台协同监测体系可以突破传统监测方法的空间分辨率与时效性限制,多源数据融合与模型优化能够提升甲烷排放量化精度,为全球煤矿甲烷减排提供可推广的技术范式。

     

    Abstract: As a significant source of greenhouse gases, coal mine methane (CMM) emissions pose a serious challenge to global climate change, with their monitoring and assessment having attracted significant and ongoing attention from researchers worldwide as a key focus of scientific investigation. Remote sensing, with its wide coverage, high spatial resolution, and real-time dynamic monitoring capabilities, has emerged as an essential tool for the monitoring and assessment of CMM emissions. Aiming at the problems such as insufficient multi-scale coverage, limited dynamic tracking ability and weak multi-platform collaboration in the monitoring of methane emissions in coal mines. The major technical platforms, methane concentration inversion methods, and emission quantification techniques are systematically reviewed, including satellite, aerial, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and ground-based platforms. Methane concentration inversion methods such as the full-physics algorithm, CO2 proxy method, and matched filter approach, as well as emission quantification techniques like Gaussian plume modeling, integrated mass enhancement, source pixel method, and cross-sectional flux approach, are also analyzed. The “Coal Mine Methane Ground-Unmanned-Satellite integrated monitoring system” (CMM-GUS) is proposed, which achieves “point-to-area” full-scale coverage monitoring of methane emissions in coal mining areas through multi-level collaborative observations by ground-based fixed stations, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms, and hyperspectral satellites. The system integrates a Bayesian optimization inversion model and an “error propagation chain” quantification method to enable comprehensive monitoring across scales. After reading numerous articles on coal mine methane remote sensing monitoring technology, it is found that: Different monitoring platforms are suited for varying spatial scales and application scenarios, each offering distinct advantages. Satellite-based remote sensing is well-suited for large-scale emission trend analysis, while aerial and UAV platforms excel in medium- and small-scale high-precision monitoring. Ground-based observations provide critical data for the calibration and validation of multi-scale remote sensing results. Existing bottom-up and top-down technical frameworks for coal mine methane remote sensing monitoring, concentration inversion, and emission quantification are continuously evolving in terms of accuracy, applicability, and dynamic monitoring capabilities, offering a robust tool for preliminary methane emission assessments. Further integration of bottom-up and top-down methodologies can leverage their complementary advantages for mutual calibration. Current CMM remote sensing monitoring faces challenges, including difficulties in acquiring high-resolution data, the impacts of complex terrain and atmospheric conditions, uncertainties in remote sensing data, and insufficient multi-platform coordination. By establishing a multi-platform collaborative monitoring system, the limitations of traditional monitoring methods in spatial resolution and timeliness can be overcome. Multisource data fusion and model optimization enhance the accuracy of methane emission quantification, providing a scalable technical paradigm for global coal mine methane emission reduction.
