- MARS is a part of intergovernmental global efforts to mitigate climate change by tackling global warming gas viz. Methane.
- MARS is a satellite-based monitoring system for tracking and alerting stakeholders regarding CH4 (methane) emissions.
- The data-to-action platform was instituted as part of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) strategy to get policy-driven data for emission mitigation.
- MARS will be the first publicly available universal system that will connect CH4 detection to notification processes transparently.
- Methane is considered the second-most common of the six major greenhouse gases (GHGs) (CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, and SF6) and constitutes 17% of the current GHG emissions.
