Omgivelsesmålinger av fluor, SO2, tungmetaller, PAH og støvnedfall rundt Alcoa Mosjøen. 22. mai – 19. august 2024

På oppdrag fra Alcoa Norway AS dept. Mosjøen har NILU utført målinger i omgivelses-luft rundt smelteverket i Mosjøen. Målingene ble utført med aktiv prøvetaking (fluor, SO2, metaller, PAH, PM10) og passiv prøvetaking (SO2, støvnedfall). Måleprosjektet ble utført i perioden 22. mai – 19. august 2024. Alle målte komponenter var godt under de individuelle grenseverdier, målsettingsverdier og luftkvalitetskriterier i måleperioden. Siden Mosjøen er mest utsatt for utslipp fra aluminiumsverket i sommermånedene, pga. hovedvindretning fra fjorden, over smelteverket mot byen, blir måleresultatene et øvre anslag for bidraget fra smelteverket til konsentrasjonene i Mosjøen over hele året.

The amount of methane released to the atmosphere from the Nord Stream subsea pipeline leaks remains uncertain, as reflected in a wide range of estimates1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18. A lack of information regarding the temporal variation in atmospheric emissions has made it challenging to reconcile pipeline volumetric (bottom-up) estimates1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 with measurement-based (top-down) estimates8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18. Here we simulate pipeline rupture emission rates and integrate these with methane dissolution and sea-surface outgassing estimates9,10 to model the evolution of atmospheric emissions from the leaks. We verify our modelled atmospheric emissions by comparing them with top-down point-in-time emission-rate estimates and cumulative emission estimates derived from airborne11, satellite8,12,13,14 and tall tower data. We obtain consistency between our modelled atmospheric emissions and top-down estimates and find that 465 ± 20 thousand metric tons of methane were emitted to the atmosphere. Although, to our knowledge, this represents the largest recorded amount of methane released from a single transient event, it is equivalent to 0.1% of anthropogenic methane emissions for 2022. The impact of the leaks on the global atmospheric methane budget brings into focus the numerous other anthropogenic methane sources that require mitigation globally. Our analysis demonstrates that diverse, complementary measurement approaches are needed to quantify methane emissions in support of the Global Methane Pledge19.
