Federal Science Strategy for Methane Leak Monitoring and Detection.
This law requires NASA to develop a comprehensive, science-based strategy for better detecting and monitoring methane emissions across the U.S., including large leak events. Although focused on planning, the ultimate goal is to enable faster identification and mitigation of pollution sources, contributing to improved air quality and climate change efforts. $1.8 million is authorized for this purpose.
