The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is creating a new group called the Methane Plume Remote Sensing Measurements Consortium. This group will bring together agencies, businesses, and researchers to improve the detection and measurement of methane gas emissions using remote sensing technology. They aim to enhance trust in data by developing better standards and strategies. Those interested in joining the Consortium can apply and, if selected, will need to sign a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA).
Simple Explanation
The Methane Plume Remote Sensing Measurements Consortium is like a team of helpers from different places working together with special tools to find and count how much of the invisible gas called methane is in the air, so everyone can trust the results.
