GHGSat's high-resolution satellites detected a methane leak from a damaged pipeline marking the United Kingdom's first-ever space-facilitated methane emission detection and mitigation effort. GHGSat recorded 5 successful measurements over 2 months that revealed the emission source was precisely pinpointed to a faulty pipeline. The total methane mitigated through this campaign was equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of over 7,500 homes.
