GHGSat is a leader in high-resolution remote sensing of greenhouse gas emissions from space, pioneering the technology to monitor these emissions at the facility level. As a commercial constellation, GHGSat's satellites offer data and intelligence to businesses, governments, and investors to optimize performance and meet environmental standards. GHGSat partners with organizations like the UK Space Agency and utilizes technology developed by the University of Toronto's Space Flight Laboratory, providing methane emission data to entities such as UNEP's IMEO and various oil and gas companies.
