Our tool uses satellite data from (Sentinel 5P and other sources) to automatically detect new potential methane leaks by custering abnormal emissions and linking them to the fossil infrastructure.

An easy UI allows then everyone to look at recent methane events and get more information on what happens: criticality of event, size, location, visual images.

We hope that gives an easy tool for people to track and then easily raise awareness on such events as they unfold

Some example notebooks can be found in the notebooks/ directory

The library can be found under methane/ folder with some autogenrated document

Azure function are available in the azure-daily-hotspots/ directory

• Use Google Earth Engine to access methane, IR and wind data
• Extract all methane hotspots by abnormal methane cluster
• Link these "hotspots" to the fossil infratructure (mines, plants and pipelines)
• Assess the link between the event and the infrastructure and create a criticality score for events
• Automate the pipeline using Azure function so it refreshes daily
• Create a user-friendly UI to be able to monitor all events detected with all required contextual information

• Google Earth Engine is not so user friendly and exporting data from it is challenging
• Identifying methane clusters was challenging. We think we can still improve the detection with more complex logic by better including infrared and with more complex models

• Developed an E2E pipeline for detecting methane hotspots linekd to fossile infrastructure
• An easy-to-use UI that run and gets refreshed automatically that can already be used

• Geosatellite data is its own beast
• Methane data is hard to access and any initiative to make it easier to work on it will be helpful to others
• Don't give up, things work out in the end

• Get feedback on current tools
• Work on improving model and espcially how to best link detected events with a precise source
