GHGSat satellites to feed ExxonMobil’s COMET for large-scale onshore methane monitoring

GHGSat will supply satellite-derived methane emissions data to ExxonMobil’s Center for Operations and Methane Emissions Tracking (COMET), expanding continuous onshore monitoring across the oil major’s assets. Launched in 2022, COMET aggregates multiple measurement technologies and the GHGSat feed scales high-resolution remote sensing for asset-level tracking.
