The case for measuring methane has never been stronger and the gap between what's measured and what's reported has never been clearer. Our 2025 Methane Emissions Report is here. In 2025, GHGSat's satellites detected methane equivalent to 702 MtCO₂e across 127 countries. From oil & gas fields in Central Asia to landfills across Africa, the data tells a consistent story: emissions are widespread, often underreported, and eminently addressable with the right tools. Inside this year's report: ️📊 28,224 super-emitter plumes measured across nearly 3 million facilities 🌍️ Why Oil & Gas (49%) and Waste (29%) dominate and how Mining (16%) is finally coming into view 📑 How shifting policy across the EU, U.S., Canada, and China is reshaping operator strategy 🛰️ A growing 15-satellite constellation that is turning detection into faster action 2025 was a year of resilience, scale, and impact.

Thank you to everyone who joined our workshop, Methane Intelligence for Oil & Gas: Powering Compliance, Strengthening Performance, at the Methane Mitigation Summit Series in Houston. A few takeaways from the room: 🛰️ From estimates to measurement. The clear shift is toward measurement-based programs, with growing focus on site-level quantification to support reconciliation under OGMP 2.0 Levels 4 & 5 and the EU Methane Regulation. ✈️ Aircraft measurement matters now in North America. State regulations and voluntary certifications are driving operators across all major US basins and GHGSat has active flyover campaigns running through 2026, with adjustable detection thresholds to match operator needs. 🌊 Offshore is the next frontier. There's real momentum behind practical offshore methane measurement, and we're advancing DATA.AIR Offshore to meet it, designed to operate safely, with no impact to offshore operations. ✅ Validated performance. An independent METEC evaluation places DATA.AIR among the most sensitive airborne methane systems available today, detecting well below 3.5 kg/hr at 90% probability of detection, validated to OGMP 2.0 Level 5. Our Gen 2 system is also MiQ certified, giving operators added confidence in the data behind their decisions. The biggest theme? Methane has moved from a compliance checkbox to a measure of operational excellence and competitiveness. Combining aircraft, satellite, and ground-level technologies is how operators get the confidence to act. Want to continue the conversation?

Proud to be featured in KSAT's 10-year celebration of KSATlite! 🛰️ A great conversation with our Director of Operations, Bryn Orth-Lashley, MBA, MSc, on how GHGSat has scaled its constellation to monitor millions of industrial facilities worldwide. Give it a read! 👇 #GHGSat #KSATlite #EarthObservation #MethaneMonitoring
We continue to celebrate 10 years of KSATlite - our fully automated Ground Segment-as-a-Service designed for small satellites, mega-constellations, and everything in between, with a fourth blogpost. 🚀 In this episode's Customer Perspective, we showcase a conversation with Director of Operations Bryn Orth-Lashley, MBA, MSc from GHGSAT, a company who designs, develops, and operates proprietary satellite technology to provide the highest-resolution greenhouse gas monitoring data available from space. The conversation with KSATlite VP Arthur Kvalheim Merlin explores how the Canadian company scaled its constellation to monitor millions of industrial facilities across the globe, the benefits of consolidating ground station contacts and satellite operations under a single partner, and why operators should view the ground segment as a service that enables them to focus on the value they were built to create.

🌍 Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay from the GHGSat team! Methane is over 80 times more potent than CO₂ over a 20-year horizon, making it the single fastest lever we have to slow climate change. But you can't fix what you can't measure. In 2025, here's what we measured: 📡 88,795 satellite observations across 127 countries, a 15% expansion in geographic reach vs. 2024 🔍 28,224 methane plumes detected across oil & gas, waste, and mining sectors 🏭 2.93 million facilities monitored worldwide 🌱 3.07 MtCO₂e mitigated, the equivalent of taking 4.9 million gasoline-powered cars off the road Since our founding, GHGSat has enabled the mitigation of more than 21 MtCO₂e. With 15 satellites now in orbit and more launches planned for 2026, we're getting closer every day to our mission: measure emissions from every industrial site, every day. The data is clear. The tools are here. It's time to act. 💚 Want to learn how GHGSat can help your organization measure and reduce methane emissions?

Understanding the full spectrum of methane emissions — from small, frequent leaks to large super-emitters — is key to building smarter monitoring strategies and driving real progress on emissions reduction. This new ES&T paper, written by our very own team at GHGSat, combines data from 16,294 detected methane plumes across five high-resolution satellite systems, including important insights on real-world detection capabilities in survey mode. Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/eWKApywX #MethaneEmissions #OilandGas #SatelliteMonitoring #GHGSat #EmissionsMonitoring #NetZero
How often do oil and gas methane emissions of different sizes occur? In our new ES&T paper, we provide part of the answer. To do this, we combine 16,294 detected and quantified methane plumes from five high-resolution satellite instrument/data-processing organizations to estimate the emission rate distribution. This distribution tells us whether methane emission events are dominated by many small sources, a smaller number of large “super-emitters,” or something in between. This matters for understanding methane emissions, improving inventories, designing monitoring strategies, and identifying effective mitigation strategies. We find that, above approximately 20 kg h⁻¹, the global facility-scale oil and gas emission-rate distribution is well described by a lognormal model: smaller emission events are much more common than larger ones across the sampled range, but the largest events remain important. Simultaneously, we estimate the “survey-mode” probability of detection (POD) for each satellite/data-provider system. This is the effective sensitivity of a system when searching for unknown plumes under routine operating conditions. This differs from the “target-mode” POD, often inferred from controlled-release campaigns, where the emission location is known in advance. Both are useful, but they answer different questions: target-mode POD tells us how a system performs on a known source, while survey-mode POD tells us what users should expect from available plume catalogs. Multi-satellite methane datasets are extremely valuable, but they cannot be interpreted as interchangeable lists of detected plumes. To use them quantitatively, we need to account for what each system was capable of seeing, where it looked and with what spatial resolution, and how often.

A great turnout at our workshop yesterday at the Methane Mitigation: Technology & Innovation World Summit in Houston! 🛰️ Missed it? There's still time to connect. The GHGSAT team is at Booth #11 through the end of the event (June 2–4) — come say hello to Richard Eyers, Brody Wight, Charles P., and Dave Schmuck. Stop by to talk through how satellite and aircraft methane measurement can help you move from estimates to measurement-based programs, support OGMP 2.0 reconciliation, and tackle the assets that are hardest to monitor — onshore and offshore. Running an asset you can't easily measure today? That's exactly the conversation we want to have. See you at Booth #11. 👋 #MethaneMitigation #GHGSat #OilandGas #MethaneEmissions #Sustainability

DATA.AIR Gen 2 has been recognized as compatible for use in the MiQ context — the global independent standard for certified methane performance in oil and gas. The number that matters: 3.5 kg/hr. That's the minimum detection limit of DATA.AIR Gen 2 at 90% probability of detection — roughly seven times more sensitive than MiQ's minimum requirement of 25 kg/hr. Validated through controlled-release testing at Colorado State University's METEC facility. Meeting MiQ requirements takes more than a great sensor. It takes the full solution: flight planning, hyperspectral data processing, equipment-level attribution, QA, and reporting workflows built for independent scrutiny. That's DATA.AIR.
