This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program provides $20,000,000 in funding to the University of Texas at Austin to collect, synthesize, and make publicly available multi-scale methane emissions data from the Northeast United States.

The key objectives of the project are to: design and deploy accurate, granular, and transparent multi-scale methane emissions measurements; construct measurement-informed emission inventories; develop models for comprehensive multi-scale emissions reconciliation; coordinate with other regional measurement campaigns; and create education, training, and workforce development programs for stakeholders. These efforts aim to inform state and federal methane emission inventories and support the transition to a net-zero carbon economy.
