AIRMO is a climate and space tech company with German roots, founded in 2022, that specializes in monitoring greenhouse gas emissions. They utilize proprietary instruments, including spectrometers and atmospheric LiDAR, along with machine learning, to detect and quantify methane leaks from the ground, air, and, soon, from space. AIRMO aims to launch a constellation of satellites to provide real-time, global methane monitoring. They serve energy companies and governments by offering data and services for emissions tracking and mitigation.
