b'Volume #3 / 2024 37Methane hotspots in 2023A small number of so-called super-emitters are responsible for a disproportionally large fraction of total methane emissions. Since late 2017, the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) has been in orbit, providing daily global coverage of methane mixing ratios. This map shows the methane super-emitter detections in 2023. The size of the circle indicates the quantity of emissions. The emissions come from the oil and gas industry, coal mining, and landfills / waste dumps. Source: Schuit et al., 2023.'
