Start of the Austrian flagship project GHG-KIT

“GHG-KIT: Keep it traceable” is being developed through a unique cooperation between a multi-disciplinary Austrian industry-science team and international experts. The resulting blueprint for system and service implementation will be a major milestone towards a new national greenhouse gas monitoring expertise with high potential for European export.

GHG-KIT: Keep it traceable

The Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), together with the Federal Ministry Republic of Austria Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK), has recently awarded the first flagship project of the Austrian Space Application Programme to an Austrian consortia under the lead of GeoVille with the research and industry partners Zentralanstalt für Meteorologie und Geodynamik (ZAMG), Universität Wien (UNIVIE), Cloudflight, SISTEMA, Earth Observation Data Center (EODC) and Technische Universität Wien (TUV).

“GHG-KIT: Keep it traceable” is being developed through a unique cooperation between a multi-disciplinary Austrian industry-science team and international experts. The resulting blueprint for system and service implementation will be a major milestone towards a new national greenhouse gas monitoring expertise with high potential for European export.

The overall goal of the project “GHG-KIT: Keep it traceable” is to develop methods and prototype a supporting system for integrated Greenhouse gas accounting and monitoring based on existing and upcoming new satellite missions, supporting national reporting capacities.

GHG-KIT will establish a reliable and scientifically proven concept for the development of an Earth Observation (EO)-supported GHG reporting system, together with the main stakeholders, namely the Environment Agency Austria (Umweltbundesamt UBA).
