Niger methane leak could wipe out 40% of Ireland’s planned emissions cuts
A single out-of-control oil well in Niger has been belching methane for 18 days at a rate so extreme that, in climate terms, it could wipe out roughly 40% of Ireland’s entire greenhouse-gas cuts achieved last year. The scale of the release has been uncovered by Europe’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), which has been […]
Niger methane release could erase 40% of Ireland’s emissions cuts – Axadle
A single oil-well blowout in Niger has released methane for 18 days at a rate so intense that its climate impact may already equal roughly 40% of the greenhouse-gas reductions Ireland achieved during the whole of last year. The scale of the release has been documented by Europe’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), which has […]
The TROPOMI satellite instrument detects thousands of large methane plumes annually, but some of them stand out. This weekend, we received a notification that our automated plume detection algorithm had observed a large methane plume in observations from October 8 over an oil field in Niger. This is an area where we do not often see plumes, so team members conducted further investigation by… The post TROPOMI registers a large methane leak in an …
