Provincial Government Announces Support for Methane Monitoring Project

With help from the provincial government, a research and development organization in St. John's is undertaking a project to monitor greenhouse gases in the Arctic.

$148,000 in funding has been announced to support for C-CORE as it takes on a contract from the European Space Agency to monitor methane emissions from Arctic wetlands.

The province’s contribution leverages a $300,000 investment from the European Space Agency and $80,000 from C-CORE, for a total project investment of $528,000. This work will strengthen collaboration among researchers and stakeholders involved in methane emission monitoring in the Arctic.
