This $275,000 SBIR Phase I award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) supports the development of a computationally efficient, tiered multi-satellite monitoring system that tracks daily-to-weekly methane emissions from oil and gas assets globally. The proposed innovation integrates satellite observations, deep learning models, and statistical data aggregation to assess and mitigate company-level methane emissions, which have significant climate change implications. The key technical objectives are to create a cost-effective solution that can accurately quantify methane emissions at scale, while balancing efficiency and accuracy tradeoffs to meet stakeholder needs. This award reflects NSF's mission to advance science and engineering research and innovation that address national and societal challenges. The prime recipient is Geofinancial Analytics Inc., a for-profit organization based in Sausalito, CA.
