Is it running?

Evidence from space

NO₂ over the site, net of the rural background, was about the same in July–September 2026 (3 µmol/m²) as a year earlier (3), and the rural background fell 28% (34 to 25). The satellite sees no new combustion large enough to stand out here. On record here: Campus natural-gas fuel cells, proposed. No rise fits a plant that is not running yet, or runs little; it does not prove either.

See all campuses checked →

NO₂ over the campus and over open country (µmol/m²)

Lines: 7-day (daily) / 3-week (weekly) averages; gaps from cloud filled by straight-line interpolation; dots are raw readings. Shaded: July–September 2025 and 2026, averaging 3 and 3 µmol/m² above open country (0.8×).

What else could explain it

Cities, highways, oil and gas fields and power plants in or near the box also emit NO₂. Comparing the same months a year apart removes steady sources; a new source nearby would not cancel.
Weather moves NO₂ from day to day (wind, sunlight, cloud), and it builds up in winter. Subtracting the background box and comparing the same season a year apart removes most of that.

How this works: the Sentinel-5P satellite measures NO₂ in the air over every point on Earth once a day, around 1:30 p.m. local time, in pixels about 5.5 by 3.5 km. NO₂ comes from burning fuel (turbines, engines, traffic, power plants), so a rise over a site that open country does not share points to new combustion there. It shows combustion activity, not megawatts. The site box is about 15 km across; the background box is open country about 55 km away. We use only high-quality readings and drop days or weeks when cloud hides more than half of either box. Data: Copernicus Sentinel-5P (ESA), processed with the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem Sentinel Hub statistics service.
