In this paper, a carbon dioxide sensor is introduced. At present many CO2 sensors are available, but they all required power in the order of few watts, therefore they are not suitable for long term unattended operation. This paper gives the brief description of CO2 sensor modeling using the MEMS Module of COMSOL Multiphysics® software. These sensors are inexpensive, highly selective and sensitive. We found the results of CO2 sensor electric potential variation at 350oC temperature with high reliability using less power. This advance will enable a new class of portable CO2 sensors to be constructed with sub-millimeter size and microwatt power.
