1st SATs to Spot Emissions at Facilities
NASA & California Partnership Targets Individual Sites Source: NASA Satellite Image Source: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Stock Image $100 Million Greenhouse Gas Tracking System From Space NASA and California, with financial backing from philanthropist Michael Bloomberg, are launching a $100 million satellite tracking system to pinpoint individual sources of large greenhouse gas emissions. For the first time, these new satellites, with new technologies developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Labs (JPL), will be able to both see and measure emissions at the level of individual facilities like a specific oil refinery. Currently, the measurements have been at the scale of large geographic areas. Methane Emissi...
