Problem

Industrial facilities emit methane, a potent greenhouse gas, but current monitoring methods are limited, costly, and often lack the spatial resolution needed to pinpoint leaks and verify compliance.

Solution

Sensing operates Europe’s first dedicated methane‑monitoring satellite constellation, delivering high‑resolution, pixel‑by‑pixel measurements of atmospheric methane from space. The platform combines hyperspectral sensors, active optical systems, and AI‑driven data analytics to transform raw satellite observations into precise emission estimates for individual sites. By providing near‑global coverage and frequent revisit times, Sensing enables operators to locate leaks, quantify emissions, and assess mitigation actions in near real‑time. The service integrates with existing compliance workflows, offering transparent, data‑driven evidence for regulatory reporting and sustainability initiatives.

Target Audience

Primary customers are large‑scale emitters such as oil & gas producers, petrochemical plants, and waste management facilities, as well as governmental agencies responsible for emissions monitoring and verification.

Features

  • Dedicated hyperspectral methane sensor on a space‑qualified satellite platform (GEN1 launched 2025, GEN2 upcoming)
  • Pixel‑level methane concentration mapping with sub‑kilometer spatial resolution
  • AI‑based retrieval algorithms that convert raw spectra into quantitative emission rates
  • Global coverage of over 95% of the Earth with frequent revisit intervals for continuous monitoring
  • Cloud‑based analytics dashboard delivering site‑specific emission reports and trend visualizations
  • Compatibility with regulatory frameworks and integration APIs for automated compliance reporting
