"Unveiling MethaneSAT: Holding Oil and Gas Companies Accountable from Space"
TL;DR
A new satellite called MethaneSat is set to launch and will publicly identify the worst methane polluters in the oil and gas industry, providing high-resolution global data on methane leaks. Developed by the Environmental Defense Fund, the satellite aims to hold companies accountable and encourage emissions reduction. With the potential to track methane from other sources in the future, MethaneSat is expected to become the gold standard for methane measurements and contribute to international efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
