Global Emissions Monitoring

Who we are

GHGSat provides global emissions monitoring services, currently for greenhouse gases and ultimately also for air quality and other trace gases from a wide range of sources. Find out more about us.

What we do

You give us the geographic coordinates of any site in the world, and we will task our platforms (satellite or aircraft) to measure gas concentrations at that site, within days of your request. We then use these and other data to deliver unique analysis of the site, such as emission rates, trends, and leak alerts.

GHGSat Unveils New
Satellite Imagery

This image was taken in In August 2018, by GHGSat’s
demonstration satellite Claire, over two years after her launch in June 2016. GHGSat detected emissions of methane, an important greenhouse gas, from an oil & gas facility in the Permian Basin.

Claire captures an array of over 200,000 atmospheric measurements around an industrial facility in a few seconds. These measurements are processed to produce imagery showing a “heat map” of greenhouse gas concentrations from the facility.

GHGSat is committed to making more sample data available for evaluation by qualified parties. For more details, please email info@ghgsat.com
