Deep dive: Satellite-based emissions monitoring and MRV — from detection to enforcement
Examines how satellite MRV is reshaping emissions accountability: MethaneSAT maps emissions across entire oil and gas basins at 100 m × 400 m resolution, while EMIT on the ISS has identified 750+ methane super-emitters since 2022. Explores data fusion challenges, regulatory integration gaps, and the path from voluntary transparency to mandatory verification.
