Services
MethaneSAT provides advanced sensing technology to detect methane emissions globally with high resolution and precision. The company offers data that allows comparison of emissions across various regions, monitoring temporal changes, and enables the deployment of solutions aimed at reducing emissions. This data is made available online free of charge, promoting climate transparency and accountability.
MethaneSAT Products
MethaneSAT offers data products that include high-resolution measurements of methane emissions from various sources. These emissions data can be used by researchers and policymakers to quantify and analyze emission levels across large areas, enabling the deployment of effective reduction strategies. MethaneSAT data is also accessible on platforms like Google Earth Engine, providing diverse measurement types to facilitate the identification of high-methane volume areas.
MethaneAIR Flights
MethaneSAT conducts flight operations using MethaneAIR, a sensor installed on a jet aircraft. These flights collect methane data with unprecedented clarity and speed. The first MethaneAIR flights, conducted over the Permian Basin in August 2021, covered over 9,000 square miles in just 2.2 hours. This operation yielded detailed methane emissions data from oil and gas activities, allowing for emissions quantification over extensive areas.
Climate Transparency and Accountability
MethaneSAT emphasizes climate transparency and accountability by making its methane emissions data freely available online. This open-access approach enables anyone to explore, compare, and monitor methane emissions globally. By facilitating easy access to this critical information, MethaneSAT aims to promote informed decision-making and robust climate action.
