Satellite sensors detect methane and CO2 emissions from individual industrial facilities anywhere on Earth. This article covers how satellite greenhouse gas monitoring works, which systems are currently active, and how combined public and private satellite data delivers layered emissions intelligence for operators, regulators, and investors.
At GHGSat, our mission has always been to make methane emissions visible, measurable, and actionable. That mission began in space, but it has never been confined to it. Our Gen2 aircraft sensor represents the same commitment to precision that defines everything we do, with higher performance and finer resolution.
Over half of global methane (CH4) emissions result from human activities with emissions from waste, one of the biggest contributors. According to the Global Methane Assessment 2021 report, agriculture (livestock farming and rice cultivation) is the highest contributor of anthropogenic emissions at 40%, followed by fossil fuels at 35% and landfill methane at 20% [ref].
While major catastrophes dominate the news and the realism of longer, hotter summers with air conditioning is uncomfortable, it is the unspectacular, incremental degradation of infrastructure and the slow impact of environmental changes on sectors of the economy, like agriculture and energy, that will affect us most deeply. What does that look like already?
In this blog, I will explore the reasons why this is the case and look at what might be done to improve matters. It has been said that we need “a supermarket for space data.” But is that really the right approach?
This guide breaks down what a carbon footprint really means for oil & gas operators and, more importantly, why it matters now more than ever. Why accurate emissions tracking is needed in a rapidly shifting energy landscape.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) published its 2025 Global Methane Tracker today, leveraging data from GHGSat’s groundbreaking fleet of high-resolution satellites as part of its flagship annual assessment of methane emissions and trends from across the energy sector.
Gas collection systems, ground monitoring, and periodic surveys have been the standard for years, but are you truly seeing the full extent of your landfill’s methane emissions? The complexity makes methane difficult to track with traditional methods alone. In a recent webinar hosted by GHGSat, experts from Veolia, Waste Management, and CATF shared how satellite data is changing the way methane emissions are managed.
Lost gas is lost revenue. Satellite methane detection helps oil & gas operators cut losses, stay compliant, and prove ESG performance at scale. Discover why satellite methane monitoring is fast becoming the gold standard for oil and gas emissions detection.
For its crucial role in supporting the emergency response to a 2024 explosion at a gas field site, GHGSAT has been awarded a Certificate of Gratitude by the Uzbekistan Minister of Energy.
Pundits have been predicting the end of ESG even before the war on ‘woke’ went hot. While the ‘social’ aspect will always be subject to the political weather, the ‘E’ part is increasingly bound to the rules of ROI. It is no longer controversial. It is common sense.
CERAWeek 2025 highlighted how methane reduction is shifting from an environmental goal to industrial profitability and efficiency driver. With shifting regulations and geopolitical pressures, companies need high-resolution emissions data to reduce emissions for financial gains. This blog covers key takeaways and GHGSat’s role in this shift.
The integration of GHGSat's precise emissions data into S&P Global's study underscores the critical role of asset-level emissions insights in shaping informed investment strategies.
