Accelerating breakthrough Innovation to monitor, control and reduce Methane emissions.

Introduction

Reducing global warming is the key challenge we must face in the next years. Methane (CH4) accounts for a third of the temperature increase resulting from greenhouse emissions.

Global Methane Pledge

Countries worldwide have collectively signed the Global Methane Pledge to decrease CH4 emissions by 30% by 2030. However, to date, existing data are both too expensive and not accurate enough to allow precise quantification and regulation of CH4 emissions.

GESat Project

Absolut Sensing is building GESat, a satellite constellation to provide regulators and companies with accurate and affordable CH4 data. We achieve this thanks to ground-breaking innovations:

• A compact optical system
• A miniaturized cryogenic spectro-imager
• An AI-amplified data processing chain

Performance Metrics

Our constellation will reach:

1. A better detection threshold (>30kg/hour/CH4)
2. A revisit rate (daily measurement across all high methane emitting areas worldwide)
3. Quantification precision (>95% regardless of weather conditions)
4. A better cost (<2€/km²)
