Our take
As organizations worldwide ramp up their decarbonization efforts, GHGSat is setting out to empower them with emissions data and intelligence that will help optimize their performance and support them in upholding environmental standards.
The company operates a network of satellites that allow for the high-resolution sensing of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, that is precise enough to attribute emissions to individual facilities. Through this, it is able to monitor decarbonization progress for specific organizations and support them in making more impactful changes.
In 2022, whilst operating six satellites, GHGSat was able to observe over 500,000 facilities across the globe. In 2023 it added an additional three satellites to its network, which it says will almost double its measurement capacity. As the only company currently delivering high-resolution emissions measurements, GHGSat is in a great position to capitalise on the rising demand for its tech.
