The new satellite, Vanguard, for the first time, can identify individual emission sites from space.

Vanguard is also the first commercial satellite to orbit the Earth for detection and measurement of CO2.

Satellite will be orbit the Earth at the altitude of 500 KM. The spacecraft is equipped with Wide Angle Fabry–Pérot Interferometer.

Wide Angle Fabry–Pérot Interferometer is GHGSat’s noval instrument that studies changes in pattern of light absorption by air columns to detect CO2 spots.

Wide Angle Fabry–Pérot Interferometer has revolutionized GHGSat’s pioneering step to identify methane emission sources.

Methane emissions are called “fugitive emission” as they are hard to detect, as compared to the omnipresent CO2.

GHGSat’s Vanguard satellite holds positive implications for global stocktaking and carbon trading as well.

GHGSat’s data on GHG emissions is considered independent and credible by the businesses and governments alike.
