Methane plume detected nearby
Global Energy Monitor researchers have identified at least one methane plume emitted at or near the site of this energy asset. Carbon Mapper provides satellite imagery of individual methane emission plumes and their emission rates at the time of observation, which GEM reviewed against Google Earth imagery and GEM’s own energy infrastructure tracker data. (A full description of the analysis process is available in the Global Methane Emitters Tracker methodology wiki page.) The following plumes were detected within the footprint of the energy asset or facility (or, in the case of oil and gas facilities, within 10 meters of a well).
