Cheltenham methane leak detected from space

Envirotec Magazine

In what seems to be a first, a UK methane leak has been spotted from space, and mitigated. Methane leaking from a faulty pipe in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, was picked up by satellites orbiting 500km overhead in April 2023. The source, near Cheltenham, was releasing methane at a rate of over 200 kg/hr.

Meet the startup producing oil to fight climate change

Grist

It had been about a year and a half since he left his job at an aerospace company to found a clean energy startup in San Francisco with three of his friends, but the path to success he’d once envisioned had crumbled. Charm would use the same technology, but instead of turning plants into a useful energy product, it would offer a service.
