Satellite methane monitoring

market profile

  • text: Oil and gas emissions stakeholders need consistent measurements across dispersed assets; ground inspection alone is difficult to scale globally.
  • text: Satellite observations can identify large point sources, but sampling and detection limitations make validation and uncertainty important.

personas

  • title: Methane emissions or environmental compliance lead
    pains:
    • Dispersed facilities make it hard to identify which sites need inspection first.
    • Reported emission factors can diverge from observed releases.
  • title: Energy investment risk or ESG analyst
    pains:
    • Inconsistent disclosures make it difficult to compare methane exposure across energy assets.
    • Portfolio risk assessments need comparable facility-level evidence.
  • title: Energy data product manager
    pains:
    • Building a global dataset from satellite imagery and ground information requires specialist processing.
    • Customers need consistent data delivered in a usable form.

icp

  • text: Oil and gas companies managing geographically dispersed facilities and emissions reporting obligations.
  • text: Investment firms, engineering consultancies and energy data aggregators assessing methane exposure at operator or asset level.

objections

  • objection: Can a satellite see emissions reliably at our facilities?
    response: Evaluate detection thresholds, revisit coverage and uncertainty on a representative portfolio alongside ground checks.
  • objection: We already report using standard emission factors.
    response: Compare observed asset-level patterns with the existing inventory to prioritize gaps and further inspection.
