First Greenhouse Gas Plumes Detected With #NASA-Designed Instrument

"The nonprofit #CarbonMapper has released the first #methane and carbon dioxide detections from the #Tanager1 satellite. The detections highlight methane plumes in Pakistan and Texas, as well as a carbon dioxide plume in South Africa."

"Once in operation, the spacecraft will scan about 50,000 square miles (130,000 square kilometers) of Earth’s surface per day. #CarbonMapper scientists will analyze data from Tanager-1 to identify gas plumes with the unique spectral signatures of #methane and #CarbonDioxide — and pinpoint their sources. Plume data will be publicly available online at the Carbon Mapper data portal."

Google joins mission to map #methane from space

Tech giant Google is backing a satellite project due to launch in March which will collect data about methane levels around the world.

By Zoe KleinmanTechnology editor
February 13, 2024

"The new satellite will orbit 300 miles about the Earth, 15 times per day.

"#MethaneGas is believed by scientists to be a major contributor to #GlobalWarming, because it traps in heat.

"A lot of methane is produced by farming and waste disposal, but the Google project will focus on methane emissions at #oil and #gas plants.

"Firms extracting oil and gas regularly burn or vent methane.

"The new project is a collaboration between Google and the #EnvironmentalDefenseFund [#EDF], a non-profit global climate group.

"The data captured by the satellite will be processed by the tech giant's artificial intelligence tools and used to generate a methane map aimed at identifying methane leaks on oil and gas infrastructure around the world.

"But the firm said if it identified a significant leak it would not specifically notify the company which owned the infrastructure responsible for it.

"'Our job is to make information available,' it said, adding that governments and regulators would be among those with access to it and it would be for them to force any changes.

"There is no international rule on controlling methane emissions. The EU has agreed a set of proposals aimed at reducing them, which includes forcing oil and gas operators to repair leaks. In the #coal sector, #flaring will be banned in member states from 2025.

"Google's map, which will be published on its Earth Engine, will not be in real time, with data sent back from the satellite every few weeks.

"In 2017, the European Space Agency launched a similar satellite instrument called #Tropomi, which charts the presence of trace gases in the atmosphere, including methane.

"It was a mission with a minimum seven-year life span, which means it could end this year.

"#CarbonMapper, which uses Tropomi data, released a report in 2022 indicating that the biggest methane plumes were seen in #Turkmenistan, #Russia and the #US - but cloud cover meant the data did not include #Canada or #China.

"Google said it hoped its project would 'fill gaps between existing tools'."
