From France
Maturity stage TRL 8 - Prototype finalized

Our solution aims to democratize the access to high comprehensive air pollution monitoring data. Our air quality product is based in three main categories: GRASP algorithm, GRASP space GAPMAP mission, and GRASP AirPhoton instruments. On the one hand, GRASP GAPMAP mission will collect aerosol PM10 and PM2.5 data at a global scale in real time. On the other hand, GRASP AirPhoton ground-instruments will collect data accuracy on specific areas. Finally, GRASP algorithm will blend synergistically these two types of datasets with other data sources - such as public models data and other ground instrumentation data - in order to create an accessible informative air quality product that will permit end-users from all over the world to understand atmospheric and surface phenomena of their region, its source and the consequences it can have for their environment, economy and health.

The Environmental Benefits

  • The GAPMAP constellation will permit to obtain 100 more measurement than traditional radiometric space imagers
  • The GAPMAP constellation will permit to obtain 5 revisits per day at a global scale. A real-time global coverage that is not planned by any polarimetric public mission
  • While traditional PM retrieving algorithms deduce only about 10 parameters, GRASP algorithm infers in nearly 50 parameters, providing significant wealth of information in Earth's atmosphere and surface properties
  • In 2019, 99% of the world population was living in places where the WHO’s strictest 2021 air quality guideline levels were not met
  • With potential life expectancy increases of up to 10 years in areas with improved air quality, our solution directly addresses health risks associated with pollution, yielding profound societal benefits and reduced healthcare burdens
  • Our solution offers 100 times more air quality data (aerosols), aiding precise decision-making for air pollution control and urban planning, ultimately leading to better environmental management

The Financial Benefits

  • Our solution slashes air quality monitoring costs by over 50%, making comprehensive monitoring accessible and affordable, hence democratizing it
  • Fine particulate concentration reductions by 20% between 2000 and 2015 in the EU correlated with a 2.4% GDP boost
  • Air quality improvements contributed to 15% of EU GDP growth between 2000 and 2015
