The Carbon Mapper Tanager-1 satellite has reached new levels in data collection, bringing us one step closer to meeting our climate goals by pinpointing leaks of methane and CO2 at their source. 🛰️ 📊 With emissions data available globally, we are better equipped to identify super-emitting sources and take action to cut emissions.

In August, Bloomberg Philanthropies partnered with Carbon Mapper and others on their launch of the Tanager-1 satellite, with advanced technology designed to provide real-time data on global methane and carbon emissions and pinpoint leaks at their source so they can be cleaned up. Today, they shared some of the earliest readouts from the satellite, marking a major step toward protecting our planet from the most potent accelerators of climate change. https://bit.ly/3NltpCQ
