DATA.GS
A Unified Global View of Methane Emissions
Third-Party Global Survey
DATA.GS integrates methane emissions data from public third-party satellite sources into a single unified dataset, processed and validated by GHGSat’s expert team.
It gives organizations access to global methane emissions monitoring without the expertise, infrastructure, or computational resources required to process public satellite data independently.

What Data.GS Enables
Turning Public Data into Emissions Intelligence
Regional emissions visibility: DATA.GS maps large methane emission events and regional hotspots across global asset areas, giving organizations a continuous view of the methane emissions activity occurring in their region of interest.
Risk & awareness monitoring: DATA.GS provides visibility of significant methane emissions detected near facilities or within regions of interest, giving organizations the situational awareness needed to assess whether further investigation or response is required.
Benchmarking & trend analysis: Datasets from multiple public sources are consolidated in one place, enabling baseline establishment and trend tracking across regions and time periods.
Escalation to high-resolution measurement: Where DATA.GS identifies a significant emission event, GHGSat’s DATA.SAT satellite constellation can be tasked for high-resolution follow-up, verifying, attributing, and quantifying the source with facility-level precision.
Within GHGSat’s tiered monitoring framework, DATA.GS provides the broadest layer of global methane emissions monitoring, identifying regional emission events that inform where higher-resolution measurement is directed.
How Data.GS Works
Public Satellites Integrated into a Single Dataset
Public satellite data is valuable but difficult to work with. Each mission uses different formats, resolutions, and processing standards. Extracting meaningful emissions intelligence requires geospatial expertise, specialized analytical capability, and significant computational infrastructure.
GHGSat processes and validates data from four public satellite sources using proprietary algorithms and quality control workflows, integrating outputs into a single standardized dataset. The result is a consistent, comparable view of regional hotspots, persistent emitters, and historical trends, delivered through SPECTRA without the need for in-house geospatial capability.
Used alongside DATA.SAT, DATA.GS expands monitoring coverage and enables two additional capabilities: event-driven tasking, where wide-area observations are used to direct GHGSat’s high-resolution satellites to priority sites for rapid follow-up; and cross-source reconciliation, where third-party records serve as an independent reference to validate and contextualize facility-level measurement data.
