Methane-sensing satellites are on the rise (pun intended) as a key solution to addressing climate change by spotting emissions at different scales to help society better detect and understand emissions. Now, two non-profit backed satellite programs — Environmental Defense Fund's MethaneSAT and the Carbon Mapper Coalition satellite program including Carbon Mapper, Planet, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and others — are joining the growing ecosystem of space-based technologies, bringing complementary capabilities that will yield powerful new insights on the location, quantity, and characteristics of methane so that they can be stopped. Learn more about the unique design characteristics of each satellite and how they work together to provide public data at the different levels of granularity needed to guide critical climate decisions today.

Tanager-1 is at Vandenberg Space Force Base in preparation for its launch as early as July! 🚀 This is the first of two satellites being developed and deployed by Planet and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory through the Carbon Mapper Coalition, a philanthropically-funded partnership led by Carbon Mapper. 🛰 Tanager-1 is designed and optimized to detect methane and CO2 super-emitters from space. Its observations will help Carbon Mapper generate data and insights to fill gaps in society’s current understanding of human-caused emissions at specific sources so they can be stopped. This is an exciting step as we countdown to launching this satellite into space and scale up data to action! https://lnkd.in/gcCNR9iU #CutMethane #Climate #EmissionsData

We’re proud of the work being done through the Carbon Mapper Coalition to make emissions visible globally, including efforts by our partner Planet. Hear from a member of their Tanager team — Dr. Emily Martin, Payload Systems Engineer — who discusses how she’s driven by such an important mission to address climate change in her work. Planet is a core member of our coalition, which is working to develop and deploy two satellites optimized to detect and track methane and CO2 super-emitters. Keep up the great work! 👏 https://lnkd.in/gEwWPHbf

Ever wonder how we can ‘see’ methane? Imaging spectrometers are instruments used onboard aircraft and satellites that enable Carbon Mapper and others to identify sources of methane and CO2, and generate data and insights about these emissions. 🛰 How? Imaging spectrometers measure the hundreds of wavelengths of light reflected by the Earth’s surface and absorbed by gasses in the planet’s atmosphere. Greenhouse gasses like methane and CO2 absorb different wavelengths of light, leaving a kind of spectral fingerprint not visible to the human eye. 🌈 Learn more about this technology and how Carbon Mapper is using it to help make emissions visible and actionable in the latest post in our education series. ➡ https://lnkd.in/gMT4cm3G

It was great to participate in this year's WasteExpo and share how remote sensing technology can help inform and verify methane mitigation at landfills. If you're curious about these emissions and their sources, check out the waste emissions data available on our public portal: mhttps://lnkd.in/gpR2dAvd #WasteExpo #WasteData
Are you at this week's WasteExpo in Las Vegas, NV? We hope you had a chance to hear one of the best panel sessions (if we do say so ourselves!): "Using Advanced Monitoring Technology to Inform & Verify Methane Mitigation at Landfills." LoCI's co-founder and Director of Product Development, Melinda Sims, discussed the use of real-time data and technology to increase methane capture while speaking with fellow panelists, including Dane Silva of ABB, Tia Scarpelli of Carbon Mapper, and Tom Frankiewicz of RMI. Learn more about LoCI's advanced real-time data and control system to increase methane capture: https://lnkd.in/gh9UcNYR #technology #sustainability #WasteExpo

🛰️ Satellites are becoming a key player in informing climate solutions. 🌎 Our CEO Riley Duren sat down with The Conversation US to talk about how satellites are becoming a more integral part of our mitigation toolbox. Methane has a significant impact on global warming, and some remote sensing technologies are helping industry, governments and communities detect and pinpoint large emissions and super emitters for quick action. Read more about the goals of the Carbon Mapper coalition satellite program, and discover how our data supports actionable steps towards a sustainable future. ➡ https://lnkd.in/g7tXvQyu #SatelliteSolutions #EmissionsData #CutMethane

Happy Earth Day 2024! On this day (and every day), we celebrate the efforts of the individuals and organizations that are taking bold action to tackle emissions to curb climate change and secure the health of our planet. When it comes to emissions, we know that a number of facilities have an outsized impact on global warming. At Carbon Mapper, we’re proud to work with our coalition of partners like Planet, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, RMI and many many others to make super emitters of methane and CO2 visible and actionable. Check out this examples of how transparent data on the exact sources of emissions can lead to mitigation action. With the launch of our first coalition satellite later this year, we are looking forward to sharing many more mitigation stories. #EarthDay2024 🌎
