Summary

The European Commission awarded Absolut Sensing a contract to purchase methane data as part of the Copernicus Contributing Missions Programme. Absolut Sensing anticipates that the programme will reduce industrial methane emissions in Europe and Europe-imported methane emissions by 178 million tons CO2e/year. Data from ground measurement campaigns have validated the sensor technology for quantification of facility scale emissions and it is anticipated that the program will contribute to a 20% decrease in industrial methane emissions by 2030.
