Blind test compares nine satellite systems for detecting methane leaks

A one-year single-blind study evaluated nine satellite-based methane-sensing systems operating across three continents, testing their ability to detect and quantify controlled methane releases without prior knowledge of the emission schedule. The results, building on earlier work including a 2024 blind test of similar systems, assess how accurately these tools can identify point-source methane emissions such as those from oil and gas infrastructure.
