"…we have a solid foundation that brings the monitoring of ship emissions based on satellite data much closer. There is still research to be done to see how much we can improve the extraction quality from the satellite signal." Kurchaba says…"At SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research, I'm currently working with Tropomi…developing methods using machine learning to detect #methane plumes from #superemitters like #coalmines, #landfills, and the #oilandgas industry."

Meanwhile at the #US EPA:

"#EPA's new policies would ban routine #flaring of natural gas produced by newly drilled oil wells, require oil companies to monitor for #leaks from well sites and compressor stations and establishes a program to use third party remote sensing to detect large #methane releases from so-called "#SuperEmitters," the agency said in a statement."
