Methane Watch aims to shine a much-needed spotlight on methane, a greenhouse gas up to 25x as potent as CO2 during its first 20 years in the atmosphere. By analysing thousands of images – sourced by the Copernicus network of satellites operated by the European Space Agency (ESA) and assisted by Kayrros proprietary algorithm - the platform can detect methane emissions in near real time. As well as disincentivising industry 'super-emitters' the solution's timely, reliable, and transparent climate intelligence is available to players across the energy and political spheres as a way of meeting climate goals and forging a more sustainable future.

The Environmental Benefits

• •The Methane Watch can detect up to 150 methane plumes a month
• •The Methane Watch platform detects methane hotspots in near real-time, attributes with a resolution up to 30 meters and measures close to 100% of basin-level emissions in onshore areas around the world
• •Methane Watch identifies the largest emitters in the oil & gas sector, which are responsible for 10% of global methane emissions from the energy sector. Cutting the number of these super-emitters by 50% will reduce CH4 emissions by approximately 4 million
• •Methane Watch provides governments with the data required to implement regulations that reduce emissions across the energy sector, which is responsible for 40% of man-made emissions of methane.

The Financial Benefits

• •Methane Watch allows oil & gas companies and investors to manage the financial risks associated with emissions in their portfolio
• •Methane Watch provides wide coverage at a low cost relative to alternative monitoring platforms
