I discuss the newly launched MethaneSAT — a satellite that can detect methane emissions on the ground — with Mark Brownstein of EDF. We cover how it came to be, its technical capacities, and the ways satellite detection might serve global efforts to reduce emissions.
I am so happy to be able to read a printed transcript since I have some problems understanding audio. Reading this was so educational with the right amount of detail I am one of your subscribers and will want to continue following your work.
Excellent podcast. Hopefully we will soon see that leakage puts the last nail on the coffin for the idea that 'natural gas is a transition fuel from oil to renewables'.
The bit about spectroscopy was very interesting! As a professional spectroscopist a bought I had is that part of what makes CO2 and methane “greenhouse” gases is also what makes them easy to see with infrared spectroscopy. So there’s a convenient synergy in using IR to measure GHGs in the atmosphere.
Great Podcast--very interesting and learned a lot. And very pleased to see how the tracking ability of methane and CO2 will grow by leaps and bounds in the next few years. A game changer for sure.
