Beyond Detection: How the SensorUp + GHGSat Integration Creates an Actionable, OGMP 2.0-Ready Workflow

For operators across the globe, the challenge is no longer whether you can find methane, but what to do with the data. Operators must address not only local regulatory requirements but also mounting pressure from investors, trade partners, and other stakeholders to meet standards such as OGMP 2.0 or MiQ. The biggest challenge: managing disparate data sources from the ground to space.

Satellite data is incredibly powerful, and it is even more effective when brought into the complete data and operations ecosystem. When methane emissions data are paired with operational data more user value is unlocked.

That’s why SensorUp is partnering with GHGSat.  This partnership closes the loop on methane data, enabling direct, API-driven integration of GHGSat's world-class data into the SensorUp platform.

A SensorUp-Ready Data Partner and a GHGSat-Ready Platform

SensorUp has certified GHGSat as a “SensorUp-Ready” partner, meaning that the data they provide is standardized and documented, with an API interoperable with the SensorUp platform, ensuring reliable, seamless ingestion for our customers. The SensorUp platform standardizes and normalizes ingested data in accordance with the Open Geospatial Consortium, ensuring interoperability and the platform's “Partner-Ready” status.

For customers who work with both GHGsat and SensorUp, this partnership means the integration works “out of the box”. This delivers a streamlined workflow and faster time-to-value for both GHGsat and SensorUp, freeing up time and resources to be better utilized elsewhere in your operations.

The New Workflow: How It Works For Operators 

Here's a step-by-step guide to how the new integrated methane detection workflow works for operators.

Step 1: A GHGSat satellite detects an emission at a facility. The API automatically pushes the data to SensorUp. No manual data entry or multiple logins required.

Step 2: The operations manager sees the GHGSat plume as a data layer in the SensorUp dashboard for that facility. They can see it overlaid with all their other data. Troubleshooting can begin immediately. Is another sensor high? Are there any recent surveys or work orders on site?

Step 3: The manager can click the GHGSat alert within SensorUp to immediately:

• Prioritize the leak based on the reported emission rate
• Create a work order for inspection and/or repair
• Dispatch a crew with the context needed for triage

Step 4: The ground crew’s findings are fed back into SensorUp as an additional data layer accessible on the facility dashboard, closing the loops. This record is attached to the emission event, and the data is ready for reporting or reconciliation when needed.

Why is this important for our customers?

This workflow is critical for high-level reporting on standards such as OGMP 2.0 or MiQ. The workflow provides the data tracking needed for reconciling emission inventories and site-level estimates. By unifying these data streams, a single source of truth is created within the SensorUp platform to mitigate risks and demonstrate compliance to regulators, with detection, inspection, repair, and verification data tied together in an emission event. 

With this partnership, customers can use their satellite detection data not only to aid emissions management but also as a signal for operational efficiency. For operators in the LNG export supply chain, this ensures satellite data is available in the SensorUp platform to demonstrate your low methane intensity to international buyers.
