Abstract

This article delves into the application of hybrid quantum-classical deep learning models for forecasting methane emissions in North Africa, a region significantly impacted by climate change. The study utilizes Sentinel-5P satellite data to develop and evaluate quantum models such as QLSTM, QGRU, QCNN-LSTM, and QCNN-GRU. The research highlights the superior performance of QCNN-GRU and QCNN-LSTM models, which achieve a 6% improvement in RMSE compared to classical methods. The article also explores the challenges and potential of quantum computing in environmental monitoring, providing insights into the future of climate change mitigation strategies. Additionally, the study compares the performance of quantum models against classical counterparts, demonstrating the advantages of quantum-enhanced techniques in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency.
