Join SCS Engineers Vice President Phil Carrillo for a live webinar on Transforming Landfill Operations with Emissions Data Traditional. The live webinar will take place on Wednesday, March 19th, at 2:00 PM ET. Traditional methods of detecting methane leaks—walking the site with handheld sensors—are time-consuming, incomplete, and often pose safety risks. Now, with advanced satellite and aerial emissions data from GHGSat, landfill operators can quickly and accurately pinpoint leaks, allowing for faster response times, reduced costs, and enhanced safety measures.

This webinar will explore how high-altitude emissions insights are driving operational decisions and strategic planning in the waste management industry. Experts will share key takeaways on how landfill operators are leveraging high-resolution methane monitoring data to optimize their operations and business outcomes.

Topics Include:

  •  The value of combining aerial and satellite observations
  •  How to leverage more accurate, timely data for operational improvements
  •  Real-world examples of cost savings, risk reduction, and efficiency gains
