MethaneSAT Just after 4:00pm Pacific Time today MethaneSAT effectively detached from SpaceX Transporter-10 that carried the emissions monitor into space.
Key Points:
- Just after 4:00pm Pacific Time today MethaneSAT effectively detached from SpaceX Transporter-10 that carried the emissions monitor into space.
- The groundbreaking satellite is designed to help protect the Earth’s climate by accelerating reductions of a powerful greenhouse pollutant, focusing first on oil and gas operations, a major source of methane.
- MethaneSAT will show us the full scope of the opportunity by tracking emissions to their source.”
Krupp announced MethaneSAT in a 2018 TED Talk as part of the TED Audacious Project .
- MethaneSAT was made possible entirely by the support of EDF donors and our partnership with the Government of New Zealand .

Key Points:
- The two teamed up to demonstrate the efficacy of a hydrogen analyzer developed by Aerodyne with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy to quantify hydrogen emissions at a facility scale for the first time.
- They are presenting results of a new field trial to leaders of the global energy industry gathered for CERAWeek , where surging worldwide investment in hydrogen as a climate-friendly energy alternative is a central topic.
- “With hundreds of hydrogen energy projects suddenly being developed around the world, we need an effective way to track and prevent these potent emissions.
- In January, researchers from EDF and Cornell University tested the Aerodyne instrument using controlled-release experiments at Colorado State University’s advanced METEC engineering facility .

"I don't think there's a group of people more qualified to vouch for wind turbine power in cold climates than Alaskans," said Felice Stadler, Vice President, Political Affairs, Environmental Defense Fund (EDF).
Key Points:
- "I don't think there's a group of people more qualified to vouch for wind turbine power in cold climates than Alaskans," said Felice Stadler, Vice President, Political Affairs, Environmental Defense Fund (EDF).
- "And of course, they brought their sense of humor and some good-natured jabs directed at our nation's second-largest state."
- "It's one thing for us to share the wealth of scientific data and statistics that wind turbines do work.
- It's another to see an Alaskan standing in waist-deep snow in a city powered by wind showing you that it works great."
