HyperGas: Detects individual facility emissions using hyperspectral satellites

SRON scientists have developed an open-source system called HyperGas that enables users to convert raw hyperspectral satellite observations into greenhouse-gas plume concentrations and emission estimates. Hyperspectral satellites have a high enough resolution to detect and quantify greenhouse gas emissions from individual facilities. By providing a common framework across multiple instruments, the software helps build a consistent and transparent community-supported system for quantifying facility-level emissions.
