Thankfully, there are tools that can help track down sources of methane emissions. Other researchers have already been using satellites to monitor methane emissions around the world. Using the Tropomi, or Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument, on the craft, researchers identified broad areas of interest that could be a source of higher methane emissions. The data revealed gas leaks from wells in the US, as well as emissions from pipelines feeding gas from Russia to Europe. The First StepSatellites are a great tool to hunt for methane emissions.
