What are greenhouse gases, and why do we need to reduce them?
Greenhouse gases (GHG) trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, causing what is known as the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect causes a rise in the planet’s temperature, which leads to global warming and climate change. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane significantly affect the world as we know it by contributing to climate change which threatens natural, economic and social systems.
Most GHG comes from anthropogenic sources (human activity), such as the burning of fossil fuel for energy or transportation, which means that businesses, organizations, and governments need to take steps to reduce their carbon footprint in order to create a better future.
By tracking and measuring GHG emissions, organizations, governments, regulators, and businesses are able to facilitate the management and reduction of those emissions. Analytics and data play an important role when it comes to understanding emissions, and the granularity of advanced GHG monitoring and reports allows organizations to:
-
Identify greenhouse gas emission hotspots or leaks
-
Develop effective reduction practices based on data
-
Offer a credible third-party data source for annual sustainability reports for investors and regulators
-
Demonstrate commitment to sustainability and the environment
GHGSat is a leader in remote sensing technology and designs, develops and utilizes emission sensing and data technology to provide global emissions monitoring for carbon-intensive industries seeking to reach their emission reduction goals and stay ahead of regulations.

Why a GHG reduction plan will empower your business
A commitment to GHG reduction is good for the planet and for business. Emission reduction is important for consumers and investors, highlighting your commitment to the environment and dedication to creating safer and cleaner business operations.
Government regulations are also becoming stricter as legislators are driven to make the transition to a climate-positive economy. By staying ahead of regulations, you ensure your business is not exposed to a sudden policy shift. And, of course, by taking a significant leadership role, you position your business to create the safest and cleanest processes possible.
