Methane Monitoring Science Act of 2024

This bill directs NASA to work with other federal agencies and the National Academies to create a strategy for improving methane monitoring by 2024. The strategy must identify gaps in current monitoring tools (like satellites and ground sensors), improve collaboration between agencies, and explore partnerships with states, universities, and companies to better track methane leaks. It requires a report within two years detailing how to use this data for faster leak mitigation and includes $1.8 million in funding for NASA to carry out this work. The bill affects federal agencies involved in environmental monitoring but does not change existing regulations.
