Reducing methane is the strategic measure we can take now to keep global warming in-check and deliver a cleaner future for all. At Space4Climate member GHGSat, it’s in their DNA to take an active role in the challenge of climate change, to deliver the timely and objective data needed to identify and curb the sources of emissions globally.

UK analysis of data from the Japanese GOSAT satellite over many years is revealing detailed regional patterns in methane emissions. Predictions of future climate change need to understand and model global distributions of greenhouse gases, and the different processes that control their behaviour.

Satellite data helps to provide real-time information and work out how climate change affects the distribution, severity and frequency of thunderstorms, thus increasing aviation safety.
