New satellites can pinpoint methane leaks to help us beat climate change
GHGSat demonstration satellite, GHGSat-D Claire, unexpectedly detects an enormous cloud of methane in Turkmenistan, while testing its spectrometer and instrument.

GHGSat's multi-layered methane detection and monitoring services can pinpoint source emissions down to the individual facility level.GHGSat-C1, Iris, is the first of a new constellation of high-resolution satellites, detecting the smallest methane ever by a satellite, less than two weeks after launch.
GHGSat offers a solution in tackling methane emissions. To effectively deal with emissions, we need to understand the source of the issue. Our satellite data and analytics services help operators and governments understand their emissions so they can take action.
GHGSat recently detected one of the strongest sustained emissions we've seen to date in Bangladesh: a country where identifying sources is difficult and emissions are consistently high.
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, colorless odorless gas and 84 times more potent than CO2. This dangerous gas has been overlooked for years but that's about to change.
One of the difficulties in tackling the methane problem has been knowing precisely where the gas is coming from. GHGSat multi-layered methane detection and monitoring services can pinpoint source emissions down to the individual facility level, providing industries with the data they need to implement and verify mitigation measures.
GHGSat, the global leader in high-resolution greenhouse gas monitoring from space, has successfully completed the launch of its third satellite, GHGSat-C2, Hugo, which launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station this week.
GHGSat-C2, Hugo, detects eight (8) plumes in one capture in central Turkmenistan- the highest number of individual methane sources ever detected in a single satellite measurement. GHGSat works with refinery and pipeline operators to share findings and stop methane leaks sooner, to minimize the damage.
