About
The Emission Observatory – Pilot for Africa platform is an interactive map service for monitoring anthropogenic GHG and air pollution hotspots in Africa using satellite observations and state-of-the-art emission estimation methods.
Specific focus areas include cities and megacities, the mining sector (particularly critical minerals needed for the green transition), energy production (e.g., power plants in South Africa’s Highveld region), and the oil and gas industry (especially regarding fugitive methane emissions and gas flaring).
If you are interested in and would like to benefit from this service and methods, please contact us: emissionobservatory@fmi.fi
