Abstract

Methane emissions monitoring is essential to control methane pollution. In this paper, we propose an automatic practical methodology using time series to estimate the quantity of methane in a given plume using a multispectral satellite like Sentinel-2. Sentinel-2 proposes a low revisit time, a good spatial resolution and a low acquisition cost. Contrary to previous methods, the proposed approach does not require a manual selection of an optimal reference image. We compared its performance on an oil-and-gas site in Kazakhstan. This is the first step toward an automatic global monitoring system for methane plume detection and quantification with these satellites.
