(Teleborsa) – “You cannot manage what you cannot measure and this is certainly true when it comes to reducing methane emissions, one of the main causes of climate change with more than 80 times the warming potential of CO2 in the first 20 years since emissions into the atmosphere,” he declared Flavia SollazzoSenior Director EU Transition Energy of the Environmental Defense Fund, speaking at the presentation event of the Legambiente Report on the risks of leakages and waste of methane gas “There’s a smell of gas”.
“For this reason we have developed MethaneSAT, a satellite capable of measuring emissions that other satellites are not able to see, helping to provide the first truly complete global picture of methane emissions, making the data collected available to all for free , accessible and transparent. MethaneSAT will also be a useful tool for Italy’s plans to reduce methane emissions, which has the ambition of becoming an energy hub for Europe in the Mediterranean, acting as a bridge between Europe and the countries of North Africa with the dual objective to guarantee security of supply for the EU and support producing countries in mitigation actions,” he added.
