GHGSat services provide cutting-edge emission monitoring solutions from space and delivers actionable insights and metrics to empower carbon intensive industries to achieve GHG emission reduction goals. With their patented imaging interferometer , GHGSat pioneered satellite monitoring of GHG in high-resolution and has the ability to attribute emissions directly to individual facilities.
GHGSat is known for its satellite emissions data, but they also provide aircraft monitoring services that can operate at different altitudes, trading spatial resolution for coverage to meet specific survey requirements. The emissions data collected from this monitoring technology is then transformed into insights, helping customers optimize their operations and reduce emissions to uphold environmental standards.

The Importance of GHG Emission Reduction for Businesses
Global surface temperature has warmed by 1.1 degrees celsius since pre-industrial times due to the rise of greenhouse gas emissions in our atmosphere [ref]. This is causing a significant shift in weather patterns resulting in more frequent droughts, heat waves and storms and has contributed to rising sea levels, warming oceans and melting glaciers.
Human activities are a primary driver of climate change. The burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil and gas releases major greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. It is vital that businesses in carbon intensive industries such as oil & gas incorporate a climate action strategy into their corporate strategy. Reducing greenhouse gases from industry will help slow the effects of climate change.

How to Conduct a GHG Emission Inventory and Assessment
A GHG emission reduction plan requires consistent greenhouse gas emission monitoring and intelligence strategies, allowing businesses to manage, mitigate and reduce emissions in real-time. With remote satellite sensing technology and emissions analytics and intelligence, businesses are able to put together a thorough emissions inventory and assessment to ensure reduction targets are met successfully.
A GHG Inventory is a list of emission sources and the associated emissions quantified using standardized methods. A precise GHG inventory can help your business manage GHG risks and identify reduction opportunities.
The inventory development process is made up of four primary steps [ref]:
-
Review accounting methods and standards, determine organization boundaries and select a base year.
-
Collect and quantify GHG emission data
-
Develop a GHG inventory management plan to formalize data collection processes
-
Set emission reduction target and report of reduction progress
GHGSat is able to detect and quantify GHG emission to help in creating a thorough GHG emission reduction plan with accurate data. GHGSat provides precision emission monitoring services and through intelligence and emission trends, are able to help businesses determine patterns to better inform decisions, streamline operations and uncover emission mitigation opportunities – helping organizations achieve their emission reduction targets.
By accessing key emission metrics and identifying indicators of emissions allows for faster decision making. Analyzing emission patterns also helps to anticipate locations at higher risk of leaks, empowering operators to act and allocate resources efficiently in order to effectively reduce emissions.
