Pakistan Methane Watch

Individual methane plumes detected from orbit, with quantified emission rates and the sector responsible. Every detection is attributed to the instrument that made it.

How to read this page. These are emissions — the rate at which methane leaves a specific source, in kilograms per hour. That is a different measurement from the ambient CH₄ concentration shown on the air quality map, and the two cannot be added, averaged or compared. Satellites pass overhead intermittently and only detect plumes above their sensitivity threshold, so the absence of a detection is not evidence of absence. Every rate carries a ± uncertainty; please quote both.

Detections from Carbon Mapper (Tanager-1) and NASA EMIT, served through the Carbon Mapper public catalog and filtered to Pakistan's national boundary. Sector codes follow the IPCC source categories. Data is free for non-commercial use; attribution is retained per detection.
