An urgent threat and global priority
Methane is a potent, fast-acting greenhouse gas that's rapidly accelerating the rise in global temperatures. Countries and companies across the world have made reducing emissions an urgent priority.
DATA ACCURACY AND ANALYSIS
MethaneSAT data provides energy producers, government agencies and other users access to insights to help identify the greatest opportunities for reducing methane emissions.
Methane emissions are worse than we think.
Several scientific studies confirm that methane emissions from the oil and gas sector are far higher than official estimates suggest. Worldwide, oil and gas operators emit around 80 million tonnes of methane a year.
Global Tracking
MethaneSAT monitors areas that produce 80% or more of the world's oil and gas. It can measure emissions across very large areas in a matter of seconds and can see changes in concentrations as small as 3 parts per billion.
MethaneSAT detected emissions that were previously untraceable.
Using MethaneSAT data, users can identify where methane emissions are coming from, learn how much is being emitted, and analyze how emissions change over time and across regions. The resulting data provides actionable insights that can help reduce emissions cost-effectively.
