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 ...

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.

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.

Satellites can locate the sources of methane plumes, the second-largest climate pollutant. Remote sensing and AI make it possible to identify and fix methane leaks faster. The satellite technology ...

A methane-measuring satellite will launch in March that aims to use Google’s AI to quantify, map, and reduce leaks. The mission is part of a collaboration with the nonprofit Environmental ...

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.

California and NASA, with the backing of billionaire Michael Bloomberg, on Thursday unveiled a $100 million effort to pinpoint large emissions of greenhouse gases from individual sources like ...

Amid growing alarm about methane’s role in driving global warming, a Canadian firm has begun selling a service to detect even relatively small leaks. At least two rivals are on the way.

June 8 (Reuters) - Airborne surveys of methane plumes spewing from landfills, power plants and oil fields in California have lead to palpable reductions in leaks of the potent greenhouse gas, the ...
