Improving methane measurement in the age of rising emissions

Improving methane measurement in the age of rising emissions

Knowing how much methane is leaking into the atmosphere from anthropogenic sources like oil, gas, coal and cows is critical as humans heat up the planet. Now UNSW researchers are trialling  a new plane-mounted hyperspectral camera to make detection of local sources easier.  “Methane is a stronger blanketing effect than CO2, but doesn’t last as long in the atmosphere, therefore it’s a good candidate to reduce the emissions and you can have a quic…
