How does it work ?
The measurement of greenhouse gas emissions is only possible through the combination of three types of data: measured GHG concentration data, activity data and atmospheric data. MétéoCarbone® uses a scientific chain combining :
An innovative network for measuring CO2 in urban areas,
An atmospheric model,
State-of-the-art data assimilation algorithms.
Physical measurement of GHG concentrations
We measure the concentration of CO2 continuously through measuring stations. The concentration data is updated every hour and directly transmitted to the system.
Automation of data processing
Our algorithms automatically generate an emissions inventory for the entire French territory, based on millions of freely available data.
Atmospheric modelling
We use meteorological modelling methods to reconstruct the spatio-temporal distribution of emissions. This allows us to significantly reduce the uncertainty of our results.
