In the quest to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, detecting methane leaks – a potent contributor to global warming – has become increasingly vital. Researchers are harnessing the capabilities of cutting-edge satellite technology to monitor these leaks from space. Why Metha

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) recently confirmed what many had feared. By 2027, average global temperature rise will be more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. We won’t permanently exceed 1.5C, but rather breach it on a temporary basis, and with increasing frequency. Despite government and company commitments to cut emissions, the chances of exceeding 1.5C of warming have increased steadily since 2015, when the WMO assessed it as close to zero.
Background This document provides a road map for the coal mine methane (CMM) science studies coordinated by the United Nations Environment Programme’s International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO). It summarizes and builds upon an IMEO commissioned literature review report (Phase 1) entitled “Coal Mine Methane Emissions: Sources, Mitigation Potential, Monitoring and Emissions Quantification” written by Durucan et al. (2022). After introducing our current understanding of CMM emissions we present a road map for CMM field measurement studies (Phase 2). This road map is set by a series...
Scientists estimated the Hail Creek mine spewed between 123,000 and 263,000 metric tons of methane last year.
