Private space race targets greenhouse gas emitters

“Although carbon dioxide is the most abundant greenhouse gas, methane has 80 times the warming power of CO2. More than a quarter of the earth’s 0.8 degree Celsius temperature rise since the Industrial Revolution is blamed on methane—generated by oil and gas production, fossil fuel–burning power plants and vehicles, millions of belching cows on industrial-scale farms, and landfills.”

Coal mining accounts for around 11% of global methane emissions and closed pits still leak #greenhousegas. 15% of man-made methane emissions will come from landfills and dumpsites. Our satellites track methane emissions from sites worldwide. Our data and analytics services help operators understand their methane emissions and turn them into useful energy.
