Open Methane Public Data

We are committed to upholding the Open, Accessible, Auditable Data Framework, ensuring that our data and methodology are transparent, verifiable, and easily accessible to all.

The results from our model, which are displayed on the Methane Map, are available in our public data store. All Open Methane data provided through our data store is available under CC BY-NC.

If you wish to use Open Methane results data in a way that isn’t compatible with CC BY-NC, please contact us at [email protected] to arrange licensing. We are very likely to provide a licence free of charge if you are a researcher, journalist or another field in the public good.

Data Sources

Open Methane Model

Open Methane uses a number of public and research data sources in determining initial methane estimates and modelling atmospheric conditions. Publicly available satellite measurements support our model’s convergence on our final methane emissions estimates.

While we are in the process of collating all of our model’s data sources, you can always check our open source repositories in GitHub for the full picture.

Data sources:

We will continue to integrate new data sources of methane measurements, such as MethaneSAT, as they come online.

Open Methane Web

In addition to the emissions estimates which come from our model, the Open Methane map and website also include contextual information to aid in discovery and interpretation of our results.

Data sources:

This list will expand as we broaden the types of contextual information we integrate with Open Methane.
