Abstract
National Institute for Environmental Studies and Ministry of the Environment, Japan, in cooperation with partner institutions in various research fields, begin preparations to develop the Japan Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Center, a new information center that will disseminate state-of-the-art GHG observation data and the latest scientific findings to the world utilizing GOSAT series satellites including GOSAT-GW to be launched. In anticipation of the availability of high spatial resolution GHG data, which GOSAT-GW is expected to provide, there is growing interest from various private sectors in using satellite-derived high spatial resolution GHG data for business purposes. With these new developments in the use of GOSAT series, Japan will share the latest findings from climate science research with policy makers, local governments, and companies in Japan and aboard to help promote decarbonization actions in each country.
This seminar provides an overview of the preparation status of GOSAT-GW and the Japanese GHG Center, as well as prospects for the use of GOSAT for private scectors.Program

- Session Summary
-
This seminar introduced the latest results of GHGs observations by Japan's GOSAT series satellites, as well as the high spatial resolution data of CO2, methane and nitrogen dioxide expected from GOSAT-GW to be launched in the near future, and introduced the latest trends in the use of satellite data in business applications. This seminar also announced kick-off of preparations for the Japan GHG Center that will disseminate the latest scientific knowledge on GHGs to the world. The expectations and uses of GOSAT-GW data toward 2050 Net-Zero were expressed in the panel discussion.
