While methane is much shorter-lived in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, it is vastly more potent at trapping heat, which makes rapid cuts essential for slowing warming in the short-term. The same satellite technology that has transformed methane monitoring in the oil and gas sector is now being turned towards another major source \u2013 landfill sites. This is an aerial photograph of the Las Dehesas landfill site near Madrid showing emissions of methane, captured by GHGSat.<\/p>\n<p><b>Read full story:<\/b>\u00a0Satellites help tackle landfill methane leaks<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2025\/12\/Methane_from_landfill_site?rand=772187\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Satellites are emerging as a powerful new tool in the fight to curb emissions of methane.
