GHGSat launches new emissions data subscription service

Quebec-based GHGSat has launched a new subscription service for methane emissions data from its SPECTRA intelligence platform, the company announced this month.

Subscribers can access all methane emissions data across regions and countries over a sixth-month period, providing energy producers and operators "with crucial information in order to drive decisive and impactful action on methane emissions."

GHGSat has six methane-detecting satellites already in orbit and is in the process of expanding its constellation to 10. The company describes itself as "the standard for space-based industrial emissions monitoring and still the only organisation able to measure methane down to the facility level, from space."

The SPECTRA premium service provides emissions data across sectors including oil and gas production, coal mining, agriculture, power generation and waste management.

"By seamlessly integrating measurements from third-party satellites with those from GHGSat’s own constellation, customers can see emissions within large, pre-determined zones such as major oil and gas basins and active coal mining territories, the company said. "This will help organisations benchmark their performance against that of their peers in the same area."
