A groundbreaking study, utilizing diverse data, including GHGSat's, quantified the amount of methane emissions released during one of the world’s largest manmade offshore natural gas leaks: the Nord Stream 2 pipeline at 485,000 metric tons of methane, higher than the emissions from 8 million cars on the road for a year.
The recent study, published in Environmental Research Letters, marks the first time satellites have been proven to detect methane emissions from palm oil mills (POMs).
Abstract Atmospheric methane (CH4) is the second most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas and has a 20-year global warming potential 82 times greater than carbon dioxide (CO2). Anthropogenic sources account for ~60 % of global CH4 emissions, of which 20 % come from oil & gas exploration, production and distribution. High-resolution satellite-based imaging spectrometers are becoming […]
Our collaboration with the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) and Carbon Limits on Satellite Monitoring Campaign proves that satellites possess the remarkable capability to pinpoint major methane emitters within the oil and gas sector.
Abstract Methane (CH4) from oil and gas (O&G) activities is a known contributor to global anthropogenic methane emissions and recent research has demonstrated that a small fraction of large emitters contribute to the majority of total emissions. In this study, we perform a single-blind evaluation of the quantification capabilities of three airplane-based technologies (Bridger Photonics’ […]
Abstract This work assesses the particle filter data-assimilation technique for estimating the methane emission rate during CH4 controlled-release experiments conducted over 3–4 days in Fall 2020 and 2021. Several controlled methane releases took place on a 40 m × 50 m platform in France, called TADI (TotalEnergies Anomaly Detection Initiative). The leaks ranged from 0.01 […]
Abstract Satellites are increasingly seen as a tool for identifying large greenhouse gas point sources for mitigation, but independent verification of satellite performance is needed for acceptance and use by policy makers and stakeholders. We conduct to our knowledge the first single-blind controlled methane release testing of satellite-based methane emissions detection and quantification, with five […]
