Orbital Intelligence for Environmental Monitoring

Transforming Earth observation into operational environmental intelligence.

Alf-Space develops ORION, an environmental intelligence platform that combines satellite data, atmospheric modelling and artificial intelligence to detect, attribute and quantify methane emissions from energy and industrial infrastructure.

Discover ORION & CLARA Our roadmap
Satellite observation of methane emissions from orbit
Methane monitoring from space Decision-ready intelligence for industrial operators, MRV bodies and public authorities.
>80% target detection probability for CH4 emissions >= 500 kg/h
~100 kg/h long-term CLARA methane source detection objective
3 M€ funding sought for a 24-month development horizon
2040 vision for a sovereign European infrastructure
The problem

Fugitive methane emissions are fast to reduce, but still hard to operationalize.

Major incidents have shown that methane leaks can remain active for weeks or months before being properly identified and quantified. The challenge is no longer only to observe; it is to detect, attribute, quantify and prioritize action.

Detect emissions Identify affected assets Attribute emissions to their source Quantify flow rates Feed MRV frameworks Prioritize interventions
ORION + CLARA

ORION creates value. CLARA builds the barrier to entry.

The strategy combines immediate value creation through software and data services with long-term sovereignty through proprietary space-based observation capabilities.
