Loved seeing MethaneSAT featured. Like Jon Goldstein says, MSAT is “like a smoke detector for the planet.” Its data will enable action to slow the rate of warming in this decade. It’s a solution for the future and a solution for right now.

Satellite data is key for this transparency. Soon, we will deliver data on high-emitting point sources, aggregate emissions from small sources, methane levels from entire regions, countries and oilfields, to drive action to #CutMethane . 🛰️

As we gear up for the MethaneSAT data product, here's what data to expect:
• high-emitting point sources
• aggregate emissions from small sources within a km2 area down to 3ppb
• methane levels from entire regions, countries, oilfields, covering 80% of global production.

'This is the first time everyone on the planet will have access — for free — to near real-time data as to how much #methane is coming out of the oil and gas industry,' EDF President Fred Krupp said of MethaneSAT at #CERAWeek .

'MethaneSAT really is the first time that we will have an instrument capable of giving us a relatively comprehensive picture of an actual concentration of greenhouse gas pollutants coming from a major industry.' Mark Brownstein spoke to David Roberts👇

'Transparency is a huge incentive for folks to act,' says EDF's Andrew Baxter in Financial Times.

OGCI is already showing what's possible, using satellite technology to make #methane visible. More from Jamie Smyth 👇

Methane has over 80 times the heat trapping power of CO2– meaning reducing its emissions is the quickest way to slow our impact on the climate. 🙌 Our recently launched MethaneSAT will spot methane from above so we can reduce that impact. Watch on CNN: cnn.com/videos/busines…

The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative is working to #CutMethane in emerging economies, using emerging satellite technology to make the gas visible.

“We need to ramp up action now. The best way to deal with this issue is to make it visible. This brave new world of satellites will be instrumental in that,” says RMI's Deborah Gordon.

'For the first time, it will allow joint venture partners near real-time insight into the methane emissions of all their assets, whether they operate them or not.'

Andrew Baxter on how MethaneSAT data will be 🔑for IOCs and NOCs to #CutMethane :

Today on Volts: earlier this month saw the launch of MethaneSAT, a satellite that can detect ground-level methane emissions. I talk with EDF's Mark Brownstein about how it works and what it means for policy & activism.

'To deliver on broader climate pledges, industry must engage national oil companies in its efforts. Joint venture partnerships are a crucial channel for technical and financial support from IOCs.'

The energy sector represents the second-largest source of methane emissions and has the biggest potential for reduction. Stronger regulations, better monitoring and transparency of harmful leaks could help. buff.ly/48TMXqp

At #CERAWeek getting ready to talk about MethaneSAT. Fixing methane leaks isn’t just good for the environment, it’s good for business. Many in the o&g industry are excited to get their hands on the MethaneSAT data so they can fix more leaks faster.

“We can’t manage what we can’t measure,” says Mike Bloomberg.

Thanks to MethaneSAT, methane emissions data will be publicly available and oil and gas companies will have more of the information they need to target leaks. Read the op-ed on Bloomberg: 👇 bloom.bg/3IGx7EI
