GHGSat specializes in high-resolution remote sensing of greenhouse gases from space. The GHGSat methane concentration and emissions data products were evaluated under NASA's Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition (CSDA) program. GHGSat currently has a constellation of small satellites (SmallSats) that are capable of measuring methane emissions from point sources as small as landfills and individual oil and gas wells.

The GHGSat Inc. data evaluation is complete, and the data acquired during the evaluation are available via the SmallSat Data Explorer tool (SDX). The completed GHGSat Evaluation Report and the Quality Assessment Summary will be posted here when available for release.
