The new Dutch TANGO satellites will soon be able to detect sources of greenhouse gases. For example, power plants, coal plants, landfills and factories. As a result, scientists will soon be able to detect 75% of the methane emitted by humans worldwide. That figure was 5% so far using TROPOMI. ESA has approved the TANGO mission.
