Hyperspectral remote sensing: A space eye that precisely locates methane, the "invisible greenhouse gas".
Methane, a climate killer known as the "invisible greenhouse gas," can have a warming effect up to 84 times that of carbon dioxide within 20 years. However, due to its dispersed emission sources and the difficulty in monitoring it, it has long been a major obstacle to global carbon reduction. With breakthroughs in hyperspectral remote sensing technology, humanity has finally gained the ability to accurately track methane from space.
Hyperspectral remote sensing and forest mapping, inventory and classification
Accurately mapping the composition of forest communities to different cover categories is crucial for using models with specific parameter configurations to simulate the ecological processes corresponding to each cover category. The structural characteristics of forests and their successional stages are key factors in the construction of forest gap models and the assessment of ecosystem function changes. For example, regenerated tropical forests are considered a significant sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide.
China's first commercial high-resolution point source methane monitoring satellite released its first dual images of "carbon source" and "carbon sink," and established a Sino-French joint remote sensing monitoring laboratory.
On April 25, 2025, the tenth China Space Day, a milestone moment arrived for global climate governance on the banks of the Huangpu River. The International Conference on Space-Based Climate Change Response, jointly hosted by four Chinese ministries (China National Space Administration, Ministry of Ecology and Environment, China Meteorological Administration, and Shanghai Municipal Government) and with participation from institutions across three continents, grandly opened. Over 300 space elites from more than ten countries gathered to jointly envision a technological blueprint for "Protecting the Earth with Space Vision." At the conference, CAS Xiguang Aerospace, a Chinese commercial space company, was invited to release the first dual images of its methane satellite's "carbon source + carbon sink" data and signed a strategic cooperation agreement with a leading French company, marking a leapfrog development for my country in the field of commercial space climate monitoring, from technological breakthroughs to international collaboration.

Detection and application of sunlight-induced chlorophyll fluorescence based on spaceborne hyperspectrometer
Currently, most sunlight-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) data are in discrete point form with sparse spatial coverage.
We used a hyperspectral instrument with a spectral resolution of 0.48 nm to conduct imaging high-resolution chlorophyll fluorescence exploration, hoping to fill the gap in the current satellite platform for sunlight-induced chlorophyll fluorescence with higher spatial resolution.
