There is vast resources in Fentale and just what they did to LA fires, the volcano eruption was man made people near it know when volcano eruption happen and never displaced people therefore there are foreigners for mining already there.Ethiopias resources are being taken over

Duo of Satellites Detect Large Methane Emission from Ethiopian Volcano

SRON—as part of the European CAMS service—and GHGSat have detected a substantial methane emission from Mount Fentale, an active volcano in Ethiopia. The emission, estimated at 58 metric tonnes per hour, was observed on January 31 through a “tip and cue” approach between Europe’s Copernicus program’s Sentinel-5P TROPOMI satellite instrument and GHGSAT’s satellite constellation, coordinated by SRON and GHGSAT.



Methane plumes detected with TROPOMI near the Fentale crater in January 2025. The plumes move with the wind towards the southwest on all days. The data are shown over Sentinel-2 visual imagery from January 22, 2025.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas with a warming potential over 80 times greater than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. While industrial sources comprise the bulk of methane emissions globally, understanding emissions from natural phenomena—including their occurrence and scale–is essential for accurate climate modeling.

TROPOMI

SRON is contracted to provide the detection of large methane plumes from TROPOMI data to the European Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service (CAMS), supporting CAMS’ mission to provide consistent and quality-controlled information related to air pollution and health, solar energy, greenhouse gases and climate forcing, everywhere in the world.

After SRON detected a “hot spot” with an unusually high concentration of methane in the atmosphere in repeated observations by TROPOMI near the Fentale volcano, GHGSAT zoomed in with its high-resolution sensors for a targeted follow-up measurement that pinpointed the Mount Fentale crater as the source of the emission.

“We automatically scan the global TROPOMI observations to find large emission plumes as part of our European CAMS service. This was a very surprising and exciting finding, we have never detected such large methane emissions from a volcanic area before,” said Ilse Aben, Senior Scientist at SRON and TROPOMI co-Principal Investigator.

Seismic activity

Recent weeks have seen heightened seismic activity around Mount Fentale (also spelled Fantale), a prominent stratovolcano located in the Ethiopian Rift Valley. Local geological monitoring agencies have reported multiple earthquakes and signs of potential magma movement beneath the surface. Satellite measurements by the UK Centre for the Observation and Modelling of Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tectonics (COMET) have revealed that a large underground crack in the earth’s crust, or a “dike,” has also emerged, stretching a distance of approximately 50 kilometers from Mount Fentale northeast towards the Dofen volcano. More than 80,000 people living in the region have been pre-emptively evacuated due to concerns of possible volcanic activity.

Cracks

Combined with the geological activity in the area, this methane detection can provide clues about what is happening below the Earth’s surface. Prof. John Stix, a scientist with McGill University, assessed that over the past several weeks, magma under the Fentale volcano may have propagated to the northeast through these cracks in the earth’s crust, explaining the earthquakes in the region. As the magma drained from the reservoir beneath Mount Fentale, the ground surface sank, deflating.

Geothermal reservoir

These types of magma movements typically have associated carbon dioxide and/or sulfur dioxide emissions from the volcano’s reservoir. Spotting such a large methane emission from a volcanic site is rare. Its presence points the scientific community to a different possible scenario: that of a shallow, isolated geothermal or hydrothermal reservoir underneath Fentale’s crater. Geothermal reservoirs can have significant amounts of methane, and may be disconnected from the deeper magma reservoir. With the recent earthquakes, pathways between the geothermal reservoir and the surface, such as cracks or faults, may have developed to allow the methane to escape.

“It will be very interesting to see if TROPOMI detects sulfur dioxide at Fentale in the coming weeks and months, which may signify magma degassing,” said Prof. Stix.

Okay, you could be right and methane is so dangerous and there is no benefit associated with it whatsoever. Could you also elaborate to the certified stupids, like me, what exactly is the real dangerous situation associated with methane? I thought Methane is the same gas associated with cattle dungs as well, is that too so dangerous, or how is it?

If you fail to elaborate on how it is so dangerous situation, then you are just a certain uncertified stupid, the only difference between you and pp cadres, in your own terms.

I don't know much about the science behind the subject matter here but even those who are anti-pp, hoping addisinsight is one, are praising the radiation of methane from the volcanic fissures as a potential blessing for Ethiopia.

Don’t play game of the Globalists Bill gates game cow dung emote methane so let us slaughter all cows. That is how the ingenious Bill gates are leading the stupids to their death by making population believe by destroying our meat resource because mere methane affects green house effect is lie. I no longer read any science research , maybe selective of what to read and genuine scientists, not bill gates fabricated science research as his goal is depopulation
