Satellite data utilisation is essential to unlocking the value of earth observation (EO). TNO develops innovative space data utilisation systems that provide people, governments and industry with a clear picture of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions while supporting reduction measures. Additionally, TNO offers a wide range of satellite data applications based on the domain knowledge in various areas of the organisation.

TNO develops space-based atmospheric monitoring solutions that provide policymakers and industry stakeholders with actionable information for emission reductions. Satellite data have a high added value because they provide global, independent measurements at frequent intervals (typically daily). Moreover, they provide data in areas where in situ measurements are not available. We do this for all relevant greenhouse gases (e.g. CO2 and CH4) and air pollution species (e.g. NO2, aerosols). TNO takes a multi-level approach to atmospheric monitoring by combining:
We do this on the basis of more than 40 years of experience in advising the Dutch government and the European Commission (such as the ECCO2 Monitoring Task Force and EU standardisation work on particulate matter).
TNO’s capabilities allow for the monitoring for all relevant greenhouse gases (e.g. CH4 and CO2) and air pollution (e.g. NO2, NH3 and aerosols). We develop solutions which can be transferred to our partners in governments and industry for operational or commercial use.
Examples of TNO applications include:
Earth observation data is a valuable asset for many social challenges and in the realisation of businesses and economic growth. As a multi-disciplinary organisation, TNO is in a unique position to develop earth observation solutions by leveraging domain knowledge in many different areas, such as buildings, infrastructure, maritime, defence, energy, health and traffic and transport.
