Apocalypse Cow
No, this is not a movie by Francis Ford Noppola. This is real.
This sympathetic animal, grazing peacefully somewhere on the green Austrian landscapes, is pointed out by the IPCC [ref: Climate Change 2014] as a significant methane producer. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas. Ranked second after carbon dioxide in terms of emission volume, its warm-up effect over a century would be 28 times worse than CO2, compared by mass.
See, size and seize the flame: the emotion project
Combustion Bay One.e.U. works currently in co-operation with FH Joanneum/Aviation on the development of an embedded optical sensor for real-time monitoring of the flame condition in aeroengine combustors.
This feasibility study is financed by the Take-Off programme from the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG).
The very promising first results will soon be presented at the following conference:

Good Vibes Beat Bad Gas
(conference talk, paper GT2015-42377)
10% less fuel consumption versus conventional for the disposal of gases with low heat value. This was the main result of the MethaNull study presented at the ASME Turbo Expo 2015!
