Montreal emissions-tracking satellite company says climate fight hasn’t slowed
GHGSat has launched 14 satellites and secured $47 million in funding to expand methane monitoring globally despite reduced U.S. government climate support.
- On Oct. 18, 2025, GHGSat CEO Stéphane Germain said interest in its methane-monitoring satellites keeps rising despite wavering government climate commitments.
- GHGSat last month announced a deal with ExxonMobil Corp. and raised $47 million to accelerate expansion as companies' capital planners prepare for future regulations.
- Since 2016, GHGSat has launched 14 satellites that use the spectral fingerprint detection method to locate emissions over industrial sites like oil and gas facilities and landfills.
- GHGSat's clients including governments, industrial emitters and insurance companies use data to mitigate safety risks and monitor footprints, while Canada targets at least 75 per cent methane cuts by 2030.
- Amid U.S. cuts to federal carbon-monitoring missions, Germain says Europe, Asia and Australia are going "full bore" on climate and `Increasingly are realizing they can tap into it because it's an alternate source of revenue for them`.
