Quantifying and detecting industrial methane and carbon dioxide emissions
01.
Identification
This satellite solution provides an easy to deploy, precise, safe, economical and consistent platform for detection and quantification of greenhouse gas emissions from industrial facilities.
Industrial operators are increasingly setting targets for their greenhouse gas emissions, but many don't have a way to measure their emissions cost-effectively. GHGSat solves that problem by using nano-satellites to detect and quantify greenhouse gas emissions from industrial facilities, anywhere in the world. GHGSat's satellite provides a birds-eye view of any site on the planet, no matter how remote or isolated. Using this satellite in orbit, we can detect emissions of methane and carbon dioxide for specific industrial sites. Our solution offers unparalleled resolution, for a lower cost than traditional methods. Gas wells and industrial facilities are often in inaccessible areas or spread out over vast areas. Using traditional methods of measuring emissions from locations like that can be costly, inconsistent, and hazardous to personnel. Monitoring GHG emissions is valuable on many different levels, such as: - Economics: methane in particular is a valuable commodity, and in many cases methane leaks can be repaired with a positive ROI. - Health & Safety: methane is explosive and leaks can endanger both employees and any local residents near a leak. - Regulations: customers are subject to a wide range of environments, and are increasingly setting their own internal targets even where there are no regulations. - Competition: several customers are interested in monitoring each other or alternative energy sources – e.g. gas vs. coal.
