Tanager-1 is made possible by the Carbon Mapper Coalition , a philanthropically-funded effort to develop and deploy satellites designed to detect and track methane and CO2 super-emitters at a level of granularity needed to support direct mitigation action. During a single overpass on Oct. During a single overpass on Oct.
It has conducted projects in the United States as well as SouthAmerica, Central America, Africa, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu. . However, most of Finite Carbon's projects — 70 percent by volume — are west of the Mississippi River. EP Carbon on the other hand, takes a much more international approach.

I’m incredibly proud of our team and everyone who helped bring this satellite to life.”
This future hyperspectral satellites will be named Tanager, a colorful and visually diverse family of birds in Central and SouthAmerica, and are designed to deliver hyperspectral data at a resolution of 30 meters with over 400 spectral bands.
billion barrels of oil deep below the waters of the Atlantic ocean off the coast of Suriname, SouthAmericas smallest country. The problem for multinational oil companies seeking to extract that oil is whats mixed in with it: trillions of cubic feet of methane, often referred to as natural gas. In May, the U.S.
Piles of decomposing cow manure emit methane and nitrous oxide, in addition to polluting water and contaminating soil. Many of the most-polluted cities of SouthAmerica are in Chile, and this is mainly because of the use of wood during the winter. Today, cow manure is a major climate and logistical problem on farms.
methane) from animal and land management and land-use change, which make the biggest warming contributions in the agricultural sector.”. These come from deforestation, changes in soil carbon, methane emissions, emissions from fertilisers, manure, farm machinery, and animal feed production.
Critics of the push say carbon capture technology is still unproven, methane leakage could add untold greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere, and transport complications all make blue hydrogen a much dirtier fuel than the name implies. Global Oilfields.
Similarly, chickens in the UK are largely fed on soya which is often imported from SouthAmerica. warming unless urgent action is taken to tackle methane-intensive foods, such as red meat. warming unless urgent action is taken to tackle methane-intensive foods, such as red meat.
Livestock raised in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), produce more methane than cows that graze on grass. He says he has seen cases in SouthAmerica where people have worked to transform degraded cattle ranches into cocoa plantations. They have planted banana trees alongside cocoa, which needs shade when young.

However, most of Finite Carbon’s projects — 70 percent by volume — are west of the Mississippi River. EP Carbon on the other hand, takes a much more international approach.
Since the last climate conference took place in Madrid in 2019, we’ve seen wildfires in Greece, Australia, Canada, and SouthAmerica, biblical floods in China, the UK, Germany and America, and record-breaking hurricanes, cyclones, and tornadoes across the globe.
Manure is also rich in nitrogen, it points out, but intensive farming models which separate livestock from crops - for example, the reliance on soy from SouthAmerica as feed for cattle in Europe - make it impractical to use natural manure as a primary source of nitrogen, leading to greater reliance on synthetic products.
Lot’s of Methane. Some of you might already be aware of the ticking time bomb called methane. In 2008, scientists found that a giant amount of methane (about 50 gigatons) is trapped in the form of permafrost in Arctic regions. Will this be our last chance for one final elfstedentocht in the Netherlands? + Further Viewing.
Livestock raised in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), produce more methane than cows that graze on grass. ” He says he has seen cases in SouthAmerica where people have worked to transform degraded cattle ranches into cocoa plantations. “They say, ‘it’s agroforestry,’” Konig says.
Methane milestone? Organic waste observers cited an important marker of progress as the COP29 Declaration on Reducing Methane from Organic Waste, seemingly the first time the treatment of food and organic waste has been placed at the heart of a formal COP declaration.
As if natural gas, which is primarily methane — the second most abundant greenhouse gas behind carbon dioxide and a major contributor to climate change — isn’t bad for the climate. Granholm’s line that gas is cleaner ignores the fact that depending on how much methane is leaked, fossil gas can be as bad for the climate as coa l.
