Applications
- 5.2.1 Oil & Gas Methane Plume Detection — Detecting and attributing methane plumes from upstream oil and gas facilities using shortwave-infrared hyperspectral and multispectral satellite imaging.
- 5.2.2 Landfill Methane Surveillance — Detecting, quantifying and attributing methane emissions from municipal solid-waste landfills using satellite-borne shortwave-infrared spectrometers and thermal imaging.
- 5.2.3 Agricultural Methane Mapping — Mapping methane emissions from rice paddies, livestock operations and manure management at field scale using shortwave-infrared spectroscopy from a dedicated satellite constellation.
- 5.2.4 Coal Mine Methane Tracking — Detecting and quantifying methane emissions from active and abandoned coal mines using satellite shortwave-infrared spectroscopy and persistent hyperspectral imaging.
- 5.2.5 Pipeline Leak Identification — Detecting and localising methane leaks along gas transmission and distribution pipelines using satellite shortwave-infrared spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging.
- 5.2.6 Super-Emitter Geolocation — Pinpointing the small fraction of industrial and waste facilities responsible for a disproportionate share of national methane emissions, using hyperspectral satellite imagery at facility-level resolution.
