MethaneSAT rendered above Earth
 

Hi John,

Around the world, people are becoming increasingly aware of the threat methane pollution poses in our fight against climate change. And governments and industries are taking action to cut methane pollution.

But we have a big problem. How do you cut methane pollution when you can’t find the source? To tackle the methane challenge, we urgently need better tools to accurately track and aggregate sources of methane pollution over a wide area. 

And that’s where EDF stepped in to do what we do best. We gathered a team of top scientists and got to work to build a bold, game-changing and innovative solution: MethaneSAT.

This past Monday, MethaneSAT deployed successfully and is now in orbit. Soon it will be sending methane pollution data back to us to help find and seal the leaks.

Now we need your help to leverage this powerful methane-detecting tool and turn data into action. Please donate today to support this mission to hold oil and gas companies accountable for the pollution they emit.

Dubbed a “security camera for the planet” by The New Yorker, MethaneSAT’s goal is simple: to make sure methane pollution has nowhere to hide.

It will locate and measure methane pollution worldwide with unprecedented precision and speed. Then the free and openly accessible data will enable companies, countries and communities to locate emissions, fix the problem and see the results.

MethaneSAT is a game-changer.

But for us to effectively turn the data it collects into action, we need ongoing support from members like you. Will you donate today to help at this critical moment in the climate fight against methane pollution?

In appreciation for your support, we’re offering to send you your own MethaneSAT supporter kit, including a sticker, bookmark, commemorative launch photo and personalized certificate.

Methane is a dangerous climate accelerant, more than 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in its first 20 years and responsible for up to 30% of the warming we’re seeing today.

We cannot solve the climate crisis without tackling methane.

“Cutting carbon dioxide emissions is important for long-term climate health, but reducing methane pollution now will result in lower global temperatures than we’d otherwise see in the next decade.” - Fred Krupp, EDF President

MethaneSAT is a groundbreaking satellite and will be one of the most powerful tools ever in the fight against climate change.

Please donate today to join this inspiring mission. We’ll send you your own MethaneSAT launch kit, including a sticker, bookmark, commemorative launch photo and personalized certificate.
