Published purpose

GHGSat will develop an innovative capability for validated dynamic three-dimensional greenhouse gas emissions estimation on a global scale using data from its own satellites and third-party satellites. Deliverables will include the implementation of a mathematical model for global methane emission rate estimation with components for the three-dimensional simulation of sources and sinks as well as chemical transport and atmospheric propagation. Once the emission rate estimator is validated, it can be adapted for operational solutions to address the requirements of regulators and end users in energy production, resource extraction, power generation, agriculture, waste management, and environmental sustainability.
