Tracking methane emissions of the largest publicly-listed oil and gas producers in North America
Methane is by far the most potent greenhouse gas. Stopping methane leaks represents the most impactful action we can take this decade to avert catastrophic climate change. Deploying live satellite data analytics, MethaneScan® detects elevated methane emissions at the wellhead level and attributes them in aggregate to asset owners.
