Earlier this month, a new methane-detecting satellite backed by Alphabet Inc\u2019s\u00a0Google and the Environmental Defense Fund went into orbit.The European Space Agency and another satellite-based tracker known as GHGSat already monitor methane emissions, but the new MethaneSAT will provide greater detail and have a much wider field of view.<strong>\u201c2024 is going to be a watershed moment for action and transparency on methane,\u201d said Christophe McGlade, head of energy supply for the IEA.<\/strong>Follow the<br \/>\nCyprus Mail  on Google News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Methane emissions from the energy sector remained near a record high in 2023 despite commitments from the oil and gas industry to address leaking infrastructure, according to a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA). The IEA is optimistic that new satellites could improve monitoring and transparency of methane leaks, a significant greenhouse gas. Methane emissions have been stable since 2019, with over 120 million metric tonnes released into the atmosphere in the last year, a slight increase over 2022. Large methane plumes from leaky fossil fuel infrastructure increased by 50% in 2023 compared to 2022, with a notable event being a well blowout in Kazakhstan lasting over 200 days. Nearly 200 countries agreed at the United Nations climate summit in Dubai to cut methane emissions substantially, building on a previous commitment to reduce global methane emissions by at least 30% from 2020 levels by the end of the decade. However, countries and companies are under-reporting their methane emissions compared to the IEA&#8217;s estimates. New satellites, including one backed by Alphabet Inc\u2019s Google and the Environmental Defense Fund, are expected to enhance methane emission monitoring. The IEA anticipates that 2024 will be a significant year for action and transparency on methane emissions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4148,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[245,33,3,358,1898,203,706,250,1823,187,1494,1897,1899,335,443,1571,1759],"class_list":["post-4147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cyprus","tag-alphabet","tag-companies","tag-cyprus","tag-energy","tag-energy-sector","tag-environment","tag-fossil-fuels","tag-google","tag-increase","tag-international","tag-international-energy-agency","tag-methane-emissions","tag-satellite-monitoring","tag-space","tag-temperatures","tag-transparency","tag-united-nations"],"acf":{"keyphrase":"","keywords":"","sourceimg":"","country-category":""},"yoast_head":"<!--
