Natural gas is used in many homes for heating or cooking, the major component of natural gas is methane a potent greenhouse gas leading to some countries signing the Global Methane Pledge where they seek to reduce their methane emissions by 30% of their 2020 levels by 2030. Many natural gas emissions are a result of small pipeline leaks (fugitive emissions), reducing these emissions is difficult due to uncertainty in their location. This work was conducted during winter 2025 in New York City and focuses on finding these emissions in two of its neighbourhoods using a mobile survey. Additionally, this work seeks to understand the other potential sources of methane present in the city as well as comparing it to other cities that have been a subject of similar studies.
