About AIRMO
AIRMO is an international climate and space tech company with German roots. We monitor methane emissions using proprietary instruments: spectrometer and atmospheric LiDAR. Our machine learning learning algorithm runs processing enabling leakage detection and quantification. We use in-house built instruments to measure methane from the ground, from the air, and - starting next year - from space.
Founded in 2022, our extraordinary team of 25, mainly engineers and scientists, works to cut emissions across regions. We started in the EU, expanded operations to Southeast Asia and the Gulf, and are now moving into the Caspian and beyond.
AIRMO supports energy companies in detecting and mitigating leaks, and in meeting regulatory requirements. We also help governments track methane more accurately. Our team works across sectors, including waste management and agriculture - quantifying emissions from sources like rice fields, landfills, brownfields, and more.
Problem
We all have realized that climate change presents a great risk to humanity. With climate change being more and more perceived as the crisis that it is, the global economy is growingly asked, by investors, by business partners, by customers, by regulation and finally by the public - to quantify and reduce their emissions.
A problem that we are presented with is that current methane emissions monitoring tools don't provide sufficient data that is - real time data and asset level accuracy - which is needed to detect for example a leakage in the moment it happens, prove to regulators that actually your emission have decreased or have a sufficient basis for real analysis to make better decisions to reduce the climate risk for your business and the planet.
In order to control your methane emissions and therefore the climate risk of your company, you need to be able to reliably monitor it.
Solution
First, we built high-precision methane sensors and a machine learning system that fuses data from multiple sources. It’s already running in the field - on drones and aircraft - delivering actionable emissions insights.
Next, we’re going to space. Our first satellite launches next year, with a full constellation to follow. The goal: real-time, global methane monitoring with no gatekeepers.
We keep improving by working directly with customers in the toughest sectors. Their feedback helps us refine our instruments, sharpen our software, and keep pushing what’s possible.
