Description
These insights come from Carbon Mapper’s methane emissions data leveraging two space-based instruments: Planet Labs’ Tanager-1 satellite and NASA’s EMIT instrument on the International Space Station. The non-profit Carbon Mapper processes the raw data from these instruments to detect, quantify, and pinpoint methane plumes, publishing the results on its data portal. Using published Carbon Mapper data, we determined the oil and gas sector sources with the highest detected hourly emissions rates seen from Jan. 1, 2025, to Dec. 31, 2025.
