Satellites detected hundreds of methane super-emitter events at facilities around the world from 2019 to 2022. These events leaked vast volumes of this potent GHG into the atmosphere at facilities such as oil and gas installations, coalmines, and landfill sites, with some of these events lasting weeks or even months. The highest number of events during this period were in Turkmenistan, at 846. The United States ranked second with more than 600 methane super-emitter events.
