Industrial emissions
Industrial emissions monitoring detects gas plumes, pollutant columns, heat signatures, flaring activity, and facility context for refineries, smelters, power plants, and other industrial sites.[1][2][3] SWIR imaging spectroscopy detects and quantifies large methane point-source plumes and supports facility or sector attribution under suitable observing conditions.[1][2] CO2M-class greenhouse-gas missions combine CO2, CH4, NO2, ground measurements, and modelling to separate anthropogenic emissions from natural sources.[4] UV-VIS tropospheric NO2 and SO2 products support industrial and air-quality emissions mapping at coarser spatial scales than facility-resolution plume imaging.[3] Thermal anomaly detection identifies flaring, combustion heat, and high-temperature industrial activity proxies rather than direct gas-emission rates.[3]
