AIRMO is a Berlin- and Luxembourg-based space-tech startup developing an active greenhouse-gas monitoring instrument that pairs a SWIR imager with micro-LIDAR, miniaturised for use on small satellites. The system delivers roughly double the accuracy of existing solutions and can spot methane leaks as small as a car from orbit. Today AIRMO’s technology is already flown on drones and aircraft for commercial monitoring missions across Europe, Central Asia and the MENA region, serving energy majors such as Uniper, Total and ESCE. Backed by the European Space Agency, the company plans its first satellite launch in 2027 to enable continuous, global methane surveillance of millions of energy assets. Proceeds from its recent seed round will also fund expansion of its airborne operations and the establishment of a local MENA presence. While revenue figures are not disclosed, the fresh capital strengthens AIRMO’s balance sheet as it transitions from pilot projects to scaled commercial deployments.
