πΒ Show Notes Belowπ
π§ New podcast episode:
Stephane Germain, Founder and President of GHGSat, on the need to address methane emissions:
β95% of what (methane) we detect isnβt acted upon today, and that drives me bonkers.β
GHGSat developed the first sensor for small satellites that can detect methane (CH4) emissions and locate individual sources of CH4 from around 500km above the Earth's surface - a huge leap forward in global emissions monitoring technology innovation.
πΒ Β What we drank during the episode: shots of maple syrup
Enjoy the show!
