New start-up to reduce global methane emission

Methane contributes significantly to climate change. Emission reduction of this greenhouse gas has shown high potential in quickly slowing down global warming. Utrecht University researcher Hossein Maazallahi recently founded his start-up Maaz Maps to accelerate methane emission reduction at the global scale. "My company operates with the latest academic knowledge. Although many questions are still unanswered, we have developed enough methods which are suitable for application in the real world." For more than a decade, Hossein Maazallahi has been researching methane emissions. Using various measurement technologies, he studied methane emissions from different sources in different European countries, from east to west. In doing so, he developed and applied innovative ways to determine what the location of the source is, what kind of source it is, and quantify the amount of emissions.
