The methane integrated series satellites are equipped with a methane camera with a spectral resolution of 0.1 nanometers, placing them at the forefront of domestic technology. They can perform methane leak monitoring, emission assessment, drift trend analysis, and carbon neutrality capacity assessment, and are widely used in fields such as ecological environment, industrial emissions, gas leaks, gas exploration, carbon sink assessment, and carbon trading.
