Key Takeaways - Methane services have moved fastest because leaks are measurable, costly, and often fixable - Carbon dioxide monitoring is improving, but national-scale accountability remains the main use case - The strongest services combine satellites with models, aircraft, and ground-based validation Satellite Services for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Monitoring Have Entered an Operational Phase Ja...
This article highlights the growing importance of satellite technology in addressing climate change, particularly in monitoring greenhouse gas emissions. The focus on methane and carbon dioxide reflects the urgency of reducing these potent gases in our atmosphere. However, it's important to note that while these technologies hold promise, they are not a silver bullet for climate change. Coverage gaps and limitations in their ability to monitor all greenhouse gases underscore the need for a multi...
