Greenhouse gas monitoring and observations for EU climate efforts

The EU has set ambitious emission reduction targets that include land-based carbon sources and sinks. To meet these targets and to monitor progress, there is a strong need for reliable data that can be updated frequently and adapted to land management policies for reducing fossil fuel emissions.
We aim to respond to these needs by combining Earth Observation data from remote sensors and incorporating them into different carbon modelling approaches, benefiting from the expertise of 22 European partners.

For whom?

  • Policy makers

    Providing information that will assist in the development of a policy to enable the EU to achieve its carbon neutrality targets.

  • Land managers

    Giving guidance for the decision making for carbon neutral land management.

  • European citizens

    Building a better planet and a better future using remote sensing technology.

Our Goals

We are creating the next generation carbon models using remote sensing data.

Carbon Modelling Solutions

Advanced modelling tools for accurate carbon cycle simulations.

Earth Observation Insights

Utilisation of satellite data for enhanced carbon tracking.
