"Revealing Atmospheric Methane Sources: The Call for an International Mapping Campaign"

Satellites, including NASA's EMIT imaging spectrometer, are playing a crucial role in identifying methane sources, aiding countries like Turkmenistan in pinpointing leaks and signing the Global Methane Pledge to cut emissions by 30% from 2020 levels by 2030. The spotlight on methane at COP28 and the imposition of fees for methane emissions in the US reflect the urgency to curb methane leaks. Various government and commercial sensors, such as GOSAT, Tropomi, GHGSat, and MethaneSAT, are being used to monitor methane emissions globally, with plans for additional monitoring from space in the near future.
