That challenge is now being addressed by GHGSat Inc., which has designed the world's first satellite, called Claire, for measuring GHG and air quality gas emissions from any industrial site in the world. The Montreal-based remote sensing company is preparing to launch its first two commercial microsatellites in late 2018 and early 2019. The launch follows the successful validation of its demonstration satellite in 2016 which showed that GHG emissions from point sources such as power plants and industrial sites can be accurately and constantly measured from space, and for a fraction of the cost of comparable technologies.
