Environment picture

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and an important contributor to climate change. This project will develop neural network-based methods to detect anthropogenic methane plumes in satellite imagery and quantify emission rates. The expected outcomes are better detection and monitoring of methane emissions in Australia compared to current methods, with enhanced temporal and spatial coverage. These advancements will enhance Australia’s capability to efficiently identify, quantify and mitigate methane emissions.
