☀️New node up in Mannheim Sandhofen Pumpwerk 🚿
It marks the furthest north node of the UNICORN network.
Thanks to the Pumpwerk team and City of Mannheim for great support!
#ClimateAction #TrackingEmissions

WMO’s GAW programme put together guidelines to help cities better measure and track their greenhouse gas emissions. Proud to have contributed as a chapter lead author to this global community effort.

📢 New node at the Heidelberg City Library! 📚
We’ve just installed the eighth CO₂ sensor of the UNICORN network. The city center station completes the Heidelberg network. Mannheim, we are coming 🎡
Thanks to City of Heidelberg and the library for full support!

🦄Meet the UNICORN Team: Kenneth Murai von Buenau

Kenneth is conducting his master’s thesis with UNICORN setting-up a 10m resolution transport model for Heidelberg and Mannheim to link emissions to CO2 measurements. His work will be fundamental to determine emissions from the measurements.

🦄 The UNICORN CO₂ network is growing! 🚨
Red dots = installed sensors
Blue dots = confirmed locations coming soon 🌍

We’re building an urban network in Heidelberg and Mannheim of atmospheric CO₂ - one node at a time.

Stay tuned… the first data is coming in soon! 📊✨

We’ve launched UNICORN – the University Network for CO₂ in the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Area 🌍🌆
 
UNICORN establishes a dense, urban CO₂ monitoring network to support science-based climate policy at the city scale.
