MethaneSAT
@MethaneSAT
First NGO-launched #methane satellite. Contact lost, but the mission continues: sharing data, scaling tech, driving action. A project of @EnvDefenseFund.
On Friday, June 20 we lost contact with our methane-measuring satellite. Despite considerable efforts we were unable to reestablish contact. This morning we learned that the satellite has lost power, and it is anticipated to be unrecoverable. The MethaneSAT mission has been a…
We're uncovering major methane emitters hiding in plain sight - including small oil and gas wells that produce little fuel but account for nearly half of U.S. production-related emissions. More from our Lead Scientist Ritesh Gautam👇 @umairfan @voxdotcom vox.com/climate/416470…
Satellite data is helping to reveal the full picture of ‘stubbornly high’ methane pollution. But as innovative missions like @MethaneSAT supported by @BezosEarthFund allow us to better see the full scale of the problem, we’ll also be able to fully scale solutions.
Our Global Methane Tracker 2025 is out! It shows methane data & transparency are continuing to improve But methane emissions remain stubbornly high - even though measures to tackle them are widely available and often very cost-effective The report 👇 iea.li/4cZNOJC
A bold idea. A breakthrough mission. A year of seeing the unseen. We set out to close a critical data gap – and delivered global insights that will keep driving action. The mission continues. We’re continuing to process and release these insights. data.methanesat.org
.@EnvDefenseFund President @FredKrupp reflects on MethaneSAT and why bold, independent climate action matters. In 1 year, we: • Detected methane at 2 ppb • Mapped oil & gas emissions • Traced them to the source The mission continues. Read more @wef: weforum.org/stories/2025/0…
The work to close the methane data gap continues. Requests for MethaneSAT data surged last week. If you're working to cut methane, explore what’s already available. 📅 Latest release: June 30, incl scenes from U.S., Uzbekistan + China Request access: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
MethaneSAT’s data is open to explore via our web portal. For a limited time, we’re also offering full download access, including for commercial use, via @googleearth Engine and @googlecloud. Request access here: developers.google.com/earth-engine/d…
If you're attending @ESA_EO's Living Planet Symposium in Vienna, stop by @Google's booth to see how @googleearth Engine and @googlecloud tools are making MethaneSAT insights accessible and actionable. ➕ Catch @GuanterLuis's talk (June 25) on our first global findings. #LPS2025
The Living Planet Symposium #LPS25 is just around the corner. Can't make it in person? For each day of the event, we will stream a selection of panels, including the opening session where we will unveil the first images of our forest mission, Biomass. Check out the streaming…
The International Energy Agency’s Global Methane Tracker 2025 reveals that actual methane emissions from fossil fuels are ~80% higher than what’s officially reported–satellite observations with tools like @MethaneSAT offering critical insights. #harvard harvardmagazine.com/2024/12/seeing…
We're bringing data on #methane pollution right to the heart of the oil and gas industry. 📊 @MethaneSAT helps reveal the full picture of emissions, lending both transparency and insight into industry operations. 🛰️ @MarkSBrownstein gave us a look from #WorldGasConference ⬇️
Our latest newsletter is out: From new high-resolution methane data to key moments on the global stage, independent satellite observations are strengthening transparency and climate action. 🛰️ Stay informed on our progress and explore the data: 📩 mailchi.mp/methanesat/may…
If you're attending the World Gas Conference this week, stop by and meet the team at the MethaneSAT- @EnvDefenseFund pavilion 🛰️ #WGC2025 👇 wgc2025.com/en/web/index/1…
If you're attending World Gas Conference #WGC2025, make sure to stop by the MethaneSAT-@EnvDefenseFund pavilion and try the methane detection experience 🛰️ wgc2025.com/en/web/index/1…
📍 Attending #WGC2025? @EnvDefenseFund + @MethaneSAT will be on the ground discussing all things methane. Visit our pavilion for the full methane detection experience 🛰️
The @IEA’s 2025 methane tracker shows fossil fuel emissions are ~80% higher than official reports. Among the satellites informing the report: MethaneSAT. Thanks partners like @BezosEarthFund, we can deliver actionable data on where emissions are coming from. 🚀
