EYE ON METHANE DATA PLATFORM
Setting the global standard for methane emissions data.
From data collection to quantification of emissions.
Measured.
From data collection to quantification of emissions.

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

Quality assurance is at the core of everything we do.
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.

Data only matters if it leads to action.
Empowering.
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).
