EYE ON METHANE DATA PLATFORM
Setting the global standard for methane emissions data.
IMEO's methane data is...
Measured.

From oil and gas to metallurgical coal, waste and agriculture, IMEO experts measure and quantify methane emissions using satellite observations and field studies. We strengthen company measurements, enabling operators and regulators to take informed decisions.

Validated.

Quality assurance is at the core of everything we do. We validate company-reported emissions, confirm satellite-detected plumes, and apply rigorous protocols so every data set meets the highest scientific standards.

Stop Methane Emissions. Now.
Empowering.
Stop Methane Emissions. Now.

Data only matters if it leads to action. We enable operators, regulators and policymakers to act decisively on methane emissions, providing tailored insights, practical guidance and open access to robust data sets in easy-to-use formats and through an application programming interface (API).
