Closing the methane gap: Satellite intelligence for ESG risk mitigation

The global energy sector currently operates with a critical blind spot: fugitive, unreported methane emissions. In this session, Nara Space CEO Jae-Pil Park introduces the NarSha satellite constellation, a first-of-its-kind solution designed to close this data gap. Capable of detecting facility-level leaks down to 100 kg/hr of CH₄, NarSha’s hyperspectral imaging establishes a new standard for asset-level monitoring. Highlighting an upcoming deployment in South Korea’s Gyeonggi Province, this case study illustrates how targeted regional space initiatives provide a new blueprint to complement national reporting frameworks, enabling both energy leaders and governments to build robust, data-driven emission strategies.
