Environmental Defense Fund and Harvard University develop MethaneSAT to track methane emissions in natural gas supply regions, revealing largest polluters in the oil and gas industry.

New satellites developed by the Environmental Defense Fund and Harvard University will monitor and publicly reveal the largest methane polluters in the oil and gas industry, tracking emissions in areas that supply 80% of the world's natural gas. The satellite, named MethaneSAT, will provide data detailed enough to pinpoint the sources of emissions, offering unprecedented transparency and accountability for energy companies that have pledged to reduce methane emissions.
