Thanks to our state investment, we're using satellite technology to detect methane leaks as they happen," Newsom said in a statement. A total of eight satellites will eventually make up the network.

California air quality regulators announced the launch of a first-in-nation satellite data project Friday, with the aim of monitoring and minimizing methane emissions. The technology involves the use ...

Separate from this launch, as part of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s California Climate Commitment budget, California has made a $100 million state investment in using satellite methane data.

The satellite was part of groundbreaking efforts to track methane pollution and make information public. Capping methane ...

The spacecraft, MethaneSAT, was just a year into its mission to provide a clearer picture of planet-warming emissions from ...

California is also expanding its monitoring capacity with satellite technology that can detect large methane leaks from space. State regulators can follow up with site operators when emissions ...

Methane leaks are a climate problem. These satellites could help find them. Data from a new fleet of satellites is poised to change how we monitor — and mitigate — a potent greenhouse gas.

It’s a big loss for efforts to hold the oil and gas industry accountable for leaking infrastructure. A satellite tracking ...

California is scaling up its ability to detect methane leaks from space using satellites. These tools give regulators a powerful new way to track emissions across wide areas. More in Science ...

California is also expanding its monitoring capacity with satellite technology that can detect large methane leaks from space. State regulators can follow up with site operators when emissions spikes ...
