As part of the ITMS project, an inversion method was developed that enables both observation-based emission estimates and the optimization of concentration fields. The scientific findings have now been published. The study confirms the ITMS demonstrator results and strengthens confidence in the ITMS inversion system and its modular approach. more

The Integrated Greenhouse Gas Monitoring System (ITMS) has officially entered its second phase with the developments towards a pre-operational “ITMS 1st Generation”, running from 1.8.2026 to 31.07.2030. more

ITMS joined the stage at the 22nd International Workshop on Greenhouse Gas Measurements from Space (IWGGMS), held on June 29–July 2, 2026, at Bonn  - pictured here (left) with Lukas Häffner (UBA) - explaining the link between Earth observation and emissions estimation, and (right) with Michael Weimer (IUP Uni Bremen) discussing the representativity of satellite data. more

The Integrated Global Greenhouse Gas Information System (IG3IS) brought together scientists, policymakers, and business representatives at its Stakeholder Consultation and User Summit in late April 2026. The three-day event underscored a growing consensus: atmospheric greenhouse gas monitoring has matured to the point where it can meaningfully support climate policy but getting data into the hands of decision-makers remains a central challenge. more

Under the motto “The other half of the problem,” researchers and inventory compilers met in Utrecht from June 15–17, 2026, for the 1”0th International Symposium on Non-CO₂ Greenhouse Gases (NCGG10)”. The motto highlights the significant contributions of non-CO₂ greenhouse gases such as CH₄, N₂O, and SF₆ to global warming—and the associated challenges of advancing climate protection and mitigation measures more

The Avengers project, a Horizon Europe initiative aimed at supporting and improving GHG emission estimates, held an online workshop from 27 to 29 May and invited ITMS to take part. more

The Integrated Greenhouse Gas Monitoring System for Germany (ITMS) was represented at the 2026 EGU General Assembly in Vienna with a wide range of oral and poster presentations. In addition, several sessions were organized by ITMS members. more
