Carbon Mapper, Inc.

Carbon Mapper, Inc. is a non-profit organization specializing in methane and carbon dioxide emissions detection and analysis using satellite and airborne remote sensing technologies. Registered to receive federal contract and grant awards since February 2021, the entity primarily supports NASA's Earth science research efforts, particularly in monitoring greenhouse gases from space. Carbon Mapper's expertise lies in developing frameworks and methodologies for assessing and validating emissions data, with the ultimate goal of informing mitigation strategies for greenhouse gas emissions. The organization contributes to advancing scientific understanding of climate change and supporting efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through its innovative use of remote sensing technologies.

Through federal contract awards, Carbon Mapper, Inc. has engaged in several research projects for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. These projects focus on methane and carbon dioxide point source emissions validation and analysis. Notable contracts include developing a scalable framework for assessing variability in CO2 point sources using multiple satellite instruments, and infusing methane and carbon dioxide point source emissions data into stakeholder frameworks to enable mitigation and uncover new insights. The contract values range from $62,500 to $751,996, with performance periods extending up to three years. All contracts awarded to Carbon Mapper, Inc. are classified as grants for research, with no set-aside designations applied. These projects demonstrate Carbon Mapper's capability to provide advanced scientific research and data analysis services in support of NASA's climate monitoring initiatives.

In terms of federal grant awards, Carbon Mapper, Inc. has received several project grants from NASA's Science Mission Directorate and Shared Services Center. These grants align closely with the organization's contract work, focusing on methane and carbon dioxide emissions research and analysis. One significant grant supports the development of a scalable framework for assessing variability in CO2 point sources using multiple satellite instruments. Another funds research to infuse methane and carbon dioxide point source emissions data into stakeholder frameworks for mitigation purposes. As part of its grant work, Carbon Mapper has collaborated with the California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, subcontracting a portion of the research, engineering, and technical support. Additionally, Carbon Mapper contributes to a global waste sector methane baseline initiative, providing in-kind methane remote sensing observations for landfills and waste dumps worldwide, in collaboration with the Regents of the University of California. This grant work showcases Carbon Mapper's role in advancing climate science and supporting global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through innovative remote sensing technologies and data analysis.
