AIRMO raises €5M to advance satellite greenhouse gas monitoring
AIRMO, a SpaceTech startup headquartered in Berlin and Luxembourg, has announced a fresh funding round of €5 million to accelerate the development of what it calls the world’s most advanced greenhouse gas monitoring system. The company is building a constellation of satellites designed to measure CO₂ and other greenhouse gas emissions with unprecedented precision and global coverage.
A new generation of climate intelligence from space
Leveraging cutting-edge Earth observation technologies and proprietary AI algorithms, AIRMO aims to deliver high-resolution, near-real-time data that can pinpoint emissions at the level of individual industrial sites, cities and critical infrastructure. The startup’s platform is being designed to support governments, financial institutions and corporates that need verifiable, science-based data to track progress against net-zero and regulatory targets.
By combining satellite-based spectroscopy with advanced data analytics, the system is expected to provide independent verification of reported emissions and reveal previously undetected sources of pollution. This type of granular climate intelligence is increasingly in demand as regulators tighten disclosure rules and investors scrutinise ESG performance.
Funding to expand constellation and commercial partnerships
The newly announced €5 million will be channelled into the build-out of AIRMO‘s first satellite units, further development of its cloud-based analytics platform and the expansion of its engineering and data science teams in Germany and Luxembourg. The startup is also focusing on strategic partnerships with climate-focused institutions, industrial emitters and insurers that require reliable, independent emissions monitoring.
With this funding, AIRMO positions itself at the intersection of SpaceTech, climate tech and regulatory compliance, targeting a rapidly growing market for accurate, third-party emissions data. As global pressure mounts to close the gap between climate pledges and real-world performance, high-fidelity monitoring from space is set to become a critical tool for accountability and decision-making.
