Methane is a potent greenhouse gas with a much stronger short-term effect on warming than carbon dioxide. Over the near-term (20 years), 1 ton of methane has the warming effect of up to 84 tons of ...

Canadian company GHGSat, which specializes in high-resolution GHG monitoring from space, launches three new ABB-built optical sensors into space aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral ...

Satellites have detected methane emissions from belching cows at a California feedlot, marking the first time emissions from livestock — a major component of agricultural methane — could be measured ...

Methane emissions from offshore oil and gas platforms can be systematically mapped using a sun-glint-based remote sensing method, researchers from the US have shown. Their new approach could help ...

Satellite-based remote sensing detection of methane distribution at landfill sites. Panels a-c depict open dumpsites, while panels d-f show engineered sanitary landfills. Methane is a potent ...
