“Methane, the powerful, invisible greenhouse gas, has been leaking from oil facilities since the first wells were drilled more than 150 years ago. Most of that time, it was very difficult for operators to measure any emissions accurately — and they had little motivation to since regulations are typically weak.”
GHGSat’s multi-layered methane detection and monitoring services can pinpoint source emissions down to the individual facility level.GHGSat-C1, Iris, is the first of a new constellation of high-resolution satellites, detecting the smallest methane ever by a satellite, less than two weeks after launch.
