The Business Case for Space-Based Carbon Monitoring
from Space Business with Fexingo: Launch Companies, Satellites, and Commercial Spaceflight · host Fexingo
Episode 18 of Space Business with Fexingo dives into the emerging market for satellite-based carbon monitoring. Lucas and Luna explore how startups like GHGSat and MethaneSAT are turning emissions data into a revenue stream, selling to governments, oil & gas operators, and ESG investors. They break down the economics: a $10 million satellite can generate $50 million in annual data sales, and regulatory pressure from the SEC and EU is accelerating demand. The hosts also discuss the technical challenges of measuring CO2 and methane from orbit, and why this niche could become a billion-dollar industry within five years. No fluff—just the numbers and strategy behind space-based climate accountability. #CarbonMonitoring #GHGSat #MethaneSAT #SatelliteData #ESG #ClimateTech #SpaceBusiness #EmissionsTrading #SECClimateRule #EUETS #MethaneLeaks #OilAndGas #SpaceStartups #EarthObservation #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SpaceEconomy #CarbonMarkets Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
