Investigation of a Methane Leak in the North Sea
View of the Sensory equipment of the ROV (ROUV, Remotely operated underwater vehicle after its mission on a methane leak at the seabed of the North Sea. Activists on board the Greenpeace ship Esperanza documented two large methane leaks located in the British exclusive economic zone (at positions 57°55.30'N, 001°37.87'E and 57°54.81'N, 001°38.72'E) in the North Sea. Caused by a major blow-out incident during a gas drilling operation 30 years ago, the leak is still emitting the highly potent greenhouse gas methane.

Untersuchung eines Methan-Lecks in der Nordsee
Blick auf die Sensoren des ROV (ROUV, ferngesteuertes Unterwasserfahrzeug) nach einem Einsatz an einem Methan-Leck in der Nordsee.Greenpeace-Aktivistinnen an Bord des Schiffes Esperanza haben zwei durch die Öl- und Gasindustrie verschuldeten Methan-Lecks im britischen Sektor der Nordsee dokumentiert (Position 57°55.30'N, 001°37.87'E und 57°54.81'N, 001°38.72'E). Aus dem Leck entweicht hochwirksames Treibhausgas. Der Krater am Meeresboden entstand bei Bohrungen nach Öl und Gas. Seit 30 Jahren treten dort große Mengen des Gases aus.

Protect the North Sea: Esperanza Tracking the Fossil Fuel Industry
The Greenpeace ship Esperanza is on its way to a month-long documentation and peaceful protest tour in the North Sea. Teams on board will gather evidence of the extreme industrialization of the region by the oil and gas industry, which has been polluting the ocean and fuelling the climate crisis with a “business as usual” attitude for several decades.
