Methane Detection
Analysis of data from sensors aboard a Canadian satellite have for the first time identified an individual farm as the source of methane emissions from cattle.
Aerospace firm GHGSat used one of its three orbiters for the exercise, which demonstrated a new level of precision in identifying where the powerful greenhouse gas is polluting the atmosphere. With high-resolution images from Feb. 2, 2022, the firm used wind modelling to trace the source of the methane from bovine flatulence and belching to a farm near Bakersfield, California.
The new technology could help regulatory agencies monitor how much methane is being generated by specific cattle ranches.
