Methane emissions monitoring.
Made simple.

Emissions Monitoring Satellites (EMSat) is an Australian-owned company that uses third-party satellite technology to provide methane emissions monitoring solutions.

From large releases to small, facility-level fugitive emissions, we can measure methane leaks anywhere in the world. The resulting data can then be used to inform environmental, production, and financial decision-making. As the old adage goes, “if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” In this way, our methane emissions intelligence empowers industries and governments to achieve their emissions reduction objectives.

Your organization wants to be a better steward of the environment and work towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
