Emission Observatory is a satellite-based service for monitoring and sharing information on anthropogenic greenhouse gas and air polluting emission hotspots in Africa.
Emission observatory is a service for monitoring man-made GHG and air pollution emission sources based on satellite data. The service is designed to provide improved and transparent emission information over the African continent. Satellite data are particularly useful in places where no reliable emission information is available, and/or the ground-based measurement networks are sparse. The focus areas of the service are: mining industry, energy sector, megacities and oil & gas industry. The service is designed together with users and stakeholders. We collaborate with several Finnish companies, national and international organizations and authorities.
Emission Observatory is developed with the support of the Research Council of Finland (Decision number: 359455) through the Proof of Concept Funding 2023.
FMI is the agency responsible for providing weather and climate-related data and services in Finland. FMI coordinates the development of the Emission Observatory platform and is responsible for the research on the case studies, the utilization of satellite data, and the emission estimation methods development.
HAMK Smart Research Unit at Häme University of Applied Sciences focuses on advancing digital services and applications across sectors. In Emission Observatory, HAMK Smart is responsible for the implementation of the back-end services and the user interface.
