Aims to commercialize service that uses satellite data to visualize GHG emissions
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that it was selected by the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) as a contractor to verify technologies that use satellite data to identify and measure sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This publicly solicited project will be carried out during the current fiscal year ending in March 2027. Following the selection, Mitsubishi Electric formally signed a contract with JOGMEC to join the project.
Mitsubishi Electric will verify the effectiveness of technologies that use satellite data to identify and quantify methane emission sources.
