https:/crsreports.congress.gov April 1, 2022Advances in Satellite Methane Measurement: Implications for Fossil Fuel Industry Emissions Detection and Climate PolicyOn November 15, 2021, under the authority of Section 111 of the Clean Air Act, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a rulemaking that “proposes comprehensive standards of performance for GHG greenhouse gas emissions (in the form of methane limitations) . for new, modified, and reconstructed sources in the Crude Oil and Natural Gas source category, including the production, processing, transmission and storage segments” (86 Federal Register 63110, November 15, 2021). Lessening unintended emissions known as fugitive emissions is one set of actions in this proposal to constrain large emissions sources known as super-emitters. The rulemaking requests both information and comments on alternative measurement technologies for methane emissions, especially those attributed to super-emitters. The EPA is seeking input on technologies that could distinguish large emission events and a definitional emissions level for designating an event as “large.” It is specified in the rulemaking that “any emissions visible b
