Dutch satellites could provide data to better understand greenhouse gas emissions within five years—but they need secure funding from the government to do so, a consortium has said.
The Dutch Clear Air Consortium, whose composition was formalised earlier this month, has published a roadmap on Earth observation for climate and air quality up to 2030, which includes pitching for a national funding programme. Talks with the government about this have already started, according to consortium chair Anton Leemhuis.
