Nature research paper: Global satellite survey reveals uncertainty in landfill methane emissions go.nature.com/4hHFArX

We published a global satellite survey of solid waste methane emissions at 150+ disposal sites in Nature today. You can find the paper at www.nature.com/articles/s41... and our accompanying news message at www.sron.nl/en/actueel/g....

Ilse Aben has received the NWO Stevin Prize from OCW directorgeneral Feite Hofman in The Hague. She is honored for the societal impact of TROPOMI, the Dutch space instrument mapping methane leaks worldwide — with an impact twice as large as all greenhouse gas emissions of the Netherlands.

Methane plumes have never been this pretty! Should still try to reduce those emissions though. Congratulations to @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social for this great visualization and thanks to the team at @sronspace.bsky.social providing the TROPOMI plume data.

Live from London Climate Week where we participated in a LOW-M event about bringing data to finance. In our project with GMH we support waste methane mitigation using satellite data. The first data are now publicly available through WasteMAP, read all about it here: www.sron.nl/en/actueel/n....

Exciting update! Data from #CopernicusAtmosphere is now part of the @unep.org's IMEO @methanedata.bsky.social ta. The integration offers enhanced insights into methane emissions through TROPOMI on Sentinel-5P, helping monitor global methane emissions. methanedata.unep.org/map?mars=&co...

We have two exciting vacancies! Join the methane data revolution and work with us at @sronspace.bsky.social on breakthrough satellite data analysis with large societal impact: werkenbijsron.nl/en/vacancies... & werkenbijsron.nl/en/vacancies...

The recent rise of methane and the opportunities to reduce its emissions are one of the ten insights in 2024 climate science. Read the full publication here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

For the co-authors here in BSky, big thanks! @bjornsamset.bsky.social @sciencedjv.bsky.social @aditimukherji.bsky.social @nanduj123.bsky.social @jdmaasakkers.bsky.social @perssonasa.bsky.social @wendyjb.bsky.social @sophiehebden.bsky.social @lisaschipper.bsky.social

The paper underpinning last year's *10 New Insights in Climate Science* report is finally published! 🥳 Big effort involving over 80 experts, with coordination from @futureearth.bsky.social, @wcrpclimate.bsky.social and The Earth League. Open Access: doi.org/10.1016/j.on...

Very excited that the work on combining TROPOMI with VIIRS to detect methane leaks led by Tobias de Jong got published today. This innovation enables us to pinpoint the sources of large brief methane releases. Paper: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... Story: www.sron.nl/en/actueel/s...

The LOW-Methane Data Strategy has been published at the CCAC meeting. We're very happy to have contributed to the strategy together with the other data partners and are looking forward to further the use of satellite data to support emission mitigation. www.ccacoalition.org/resources/lo...

Discover the new CAMS Methane Hotspot Explorer app! Visualise CH4 plumes and identify their sources with this cutting-edge tool developed with the Netherlands Institute for Space Research. Read more atmosphere.copernicus.eu/cams-methane... #CopernicusAtmosphere

It's an honor to have the work by our @sronspace.bsky.social team included in the NHK documentary 'Blind Spots in Climate Measures'. The segment shows how we use multiple satellites to spot large methane emitters around the world. www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/...

Great to see that 'Revealing Methane Super-Emitters and Methane Leakages' is identified as one of the 12 'Groundbreaking Science Discoveries' made using satellites. Sentinel-5P TROPOMI has been a real game changer for this work, including when used together with Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3.

Our new paper first-authored by Gijs Leguijt shows how we can use TROPOMI satellite data to evaluate the carbon monoxide emissions of the largest European iron/steel plants. Webstory: earth.sron.nl/nieuws/annua... Paper: doi.org/10.5194/acp-... @sronspace.bsky.social / TNO

Glad we could contribute to this IMEO-led synthesis of the Nord Stream methane emissions based on our satellite work at @sronspace.bsky.social. This was an enormous leak, the fact that we emit 1000x as much as humans every year emphasizes the scale of our emissions. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

De methaanuitstoot terugdringen is relatief makkelijk, dus waarom lukt het niet?

It has been a whirlwind end to #COP29 for me, including talking to We Don't Have Time about the work we do at SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research. You can find that full interview on Youtube: youtu.be/xuhb8TNFbyA?....

Absolute pleasure to talk to We don’t have time at COP29 today, you can find the interview here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuhb...

Halfway through the second week of hashtag#COP29, we had another intense couple of days. My schedule included participation in an event at the Spanish Pavilion on results presented at the Climate Neutrality Forum earlier this year (Photo).

Currently at COP29 in Baku to further the use of satellite methane data to support emission mitigation. Looking forward to a productive second week!

We have a vacancy: Join us to detect and analyze methane super-emitters around the world using satellites! werkenbijsron.nl/careers/atmo...

Really cool interactive story on our work hunting methane leaks from space: app.nos.nl/nieuws/metha..., accompanying radio interview from this morning (in Dutch): www.nporadio1.nl/fragmenten/n...

I’m at the UN in Geneva this week to represent @SRON_Space at the Global Methane Forum.

Spoke with Dennis Storm (www.instagram.com/stormdennis/...) about our work at @SRON_Space on detecting methane emissions using satellites and the role of science in the larger climate challenge. Two-part podcast (in Dutch) available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify:

Talked about our methane work and our experiences at the COP on Dutch radio this morning! Recording available here: www.nporadio1.nl/fragmenten/v....

Honored to have been on a panel at the U.S. Greenhouse Gas Center event at the U.S. Center at #COP28  today. The U.S. Greenhouse Gas Center is a multi-agency effort consolidating greenhouse gas (GHG) information from observations and models.

Earth Information Day at #COP28!

Lots of movement on methane today at #COP28 . One major announcement was the launch of 'Lowering Organic Waste Methane' (LOW-Methane), a new initiative to jumpstart a dramatic scale-up of global action to cut methane emissions from the waste sector.

Excited to be part of the Waste MAP launch event at COP28 tomorrow.

On our way to #COP28 to talk about methane. The irony of flying there isn’t lost on me but looked like a tough bike ride.

Excited to share the work by former SRON postdoc Stijn Naus who used a combination of satellite instruments to estimate both total methane emissions from two Algerian oil/gas production regions as well as the contribution from super-emitting facilities. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Happy to announce that Erin McDuffie and I together with a lot of co-authors published a new dataset of annual 2012-2018 gridded methane emissions, consistent with the U.S. National GHG Inventory! Paper: t.co/NBbCsh9yzj Data: t.co/AFBZlZiWVi Webpage: t.co/Oebi2gd0YF

Every week, we put our most confident TROPOMI methane plume detections on our website. This week, we detected 83 plumes. You can find all of our detections at earth.sron.nl/methane-emis....
