I’ll note that while methane is responsible for something like 30% of the observed warming oil and gas leaks are only part of that.

It’s going to provide the locations and rate of leak for major new emissions sources, to a pixel size of 100m x 400m, and detect those leaks within 95 minutes. That’s enough to find major new leaks quickly and enable a response to them.
In the US, a new methane emissions tax which just went into effect will provide a powerful incentive for infrastructure owners to fix big leaks like this.
