🛰️ Carbon Mapper's Satellite Uncovers Major Methane Leaks and CO2 Hotspots 🌍
In a groundbreaking development, the Tanager-1 satellite from Carbon Mapper has revealed significant methane leaks and CO2 hotspots from key sources such as oil and gas operations, landfills, and industrial facilities across California and other regions of the U.S. The satellite detected emissions at sites operated by some of the largest energy companies, providing previously unavailable insights into the true scale of these emissions.
💡 What was uncovered? Tanager-1 has identified specific high-emission areas, including methane leaks from oil and gas infrastructure and CO2 emissions at power plants and manufacturing sites. This real-time data exposes emission sources that have long gone unaddressed, challenging businesses and governments to take immediate action.
These findings raise important questions: How much longer can we afford to let hidden emissions go unchecked? Is satellite technology the key to achieving true accountability and rapid emission reductions?
With the power to monitor emissions in real time, satellites like Tanager-1 could drastically reshape our ability to meet global climate targets by bringing transparency to previously invisible threats.
