250 years after methane was first captured at Lake Maggiore, we can now see it from space. Science has given us the tools to cut methane fast. The question is: will we act in time? The window for methane action is open but the clock is ticking. Now is the #TimeforCH4nge. 🎧 In Super Pollutants Gossips, @CavalieriSandra and @avabahramii talk with Mackenzie Huffman (@carbonmapper) about turning methane detection into real-world action. From 30 March – 2 April 2026, we will convene in Ispra, near the site of methane’s discovery, for Methane Action for People & Planet: From Discovery to Solutions, marking 250 years since methane was first identified and accelerating practical solutions.

We were founded on a bold idea: to image the Earth every day and make change visible, accessible, and actionable. Our partnership with @carbonmapper puts that vision into practice by detecting methane emissions at their source, allowing operators and regulators to reduce methane swiftly and decisively.

"We've been able to spread the data to help people mitigate their methane emissions." – Dan Cusworth In our chat with Mackenzie Huffman & Dan Cusworth of @carbonmapper, we explored how satellites reveal methane super emitters and support smarter decisions at @COP30noBrasil. A must-watch for climate tech. Find the full interview at @WeDontHaveTime

🌍 This #ZeroEmissionsDay, we’re looking up. With support from Bloomberg Philanthropies, @carbonmapper and @planet launched the Tanager-1 satellite to track methane super-emitters worldwide. This technology is helping us see what’s been invisible for too long, and giving leaders the data they need to act against one of the most powerful drivers of climate change: 🔥 Methane traps 80x more heat than CO₂ 🌡️ Responsible for nearly a third of global warming 🛰️ Now, we can track it—and stop it. Learn more about this breakthrough and its impact on our planet.

🚨 We're proud to launch: the Methane Risk Map. This interactive tool models over 1,300 methane emission events across the U.S.—revealing where hazardous air pollutants like benzene may have posed health risks to nearby communities. Built for policymakers, public health regulators, researchers, and communities, the map provides actionable, science-backed data. ➡️ Explore the map right here: bit.ly/4msgq28

Hyperspectral datasets have arrived 🛰️ For the first time, explore over 50 basic radiance datasets from our Tanager-1 satellite on our Planet Labs - Open Data STAC (SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog)! ✨ Planet’s Tanager mission is providing high spectral resolution data across a broad spectral range, helping users uncover powerful insights invisible to the naked eye. These datasets can support analyses across various critical sectors, including agriculture, energy & mining, urban development, and more. Be sure to keep an eye out for additional updates to this collection and the addition of Tanager core imagery to our Sandbox on the Planet Insights Platform.

We need bold and innovative ideas more than ever. From more satellites — like @carbonmapper , which is collecting important data on other aspects of this challenge — to methane-consuming bacteria that can reduce emissions from landfills. 4/6
