  • At Cornell University there is Dr. Robert W. Howarth, David R. Atkinson Professor of Ecology & Environmental Biology Link to CV: click here. E-mail: rwh2@cornell.edu. Office:(607) 255-6175 ... He just finished a study on the lifetime ghg profile of shale gas production (methane) and concluded that its 10, 20, 100 year profile is worse than coal and gasoline.  Unfortunately I know nothing of labs in India, but would love to know, and to learn what is underway with the dangerous practice of shale gas/high volume-high-pressure-hydraulic fracturing.

  • U will get it on hire basis with expert operator. If need send me the no of samples to be analysed on sandeeptayade@gmail.com. One thing I forgot to tell u that the results will be display on % basis.

  • Will I be able to get that potable methane analyzer?

  • Potable methane analyzer can be available at Mumbai, but may not useful for u. Potable m a can use for point source analysis. If I other information, I will share to u. thanks

    I will contact Dr Himanshu pathak and try in NABL too..

    Thanks for your suggestions !

  • You may contact Prof. S.N. Singh, Head, Ecotoxicology and Bioremedtation Group, National Botanical Research Institute, Lucknow (Here I worked for 6 years on one of the areas - "Biogenic Emission of Greengouse Gases especially Methane and Nitrous oxide".

    Othe Persons to contact are:

    Dr TK Adhya, Central Rice research Institute, Cuttak

    Dr Himanshu Pathak, IARI, New Delhi

    Dr Prabhat Gupta, National Physical Laboratory (CSIR), New Delhi

    All of them are gaving their gas chromatograph equipped with FID / ECD and columns required for CH4 and N2O analysis.
