Intergrated Greenhouse Gas Monitoring System for Germany (ITMS)
Welcome to the ITMS Project
ITMS (“Integriertes Treibhausgas-Monitoringsystem für Deutschland“ in English as “Integrated Greenhouse Gas Monitoring System for Germany”) is a BMBF (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung)-funded project designed to enable Germany to operationally monitor the sources and sinks of the three most important long-lived greenhouse gases (GHG) CO2, CH4, N2O via independent measurements. The collaborative project will support Data-driven GHG monitoring against "alternative facts" and "fake news" and in the long term result in the establishment of an operational GHG data assimilation service at the DWD (Deutscher Wetterdienst).
On October 15, 2024, the ITMS project was presented at the IG3IS Webinar Series (Q3-Q4, 2024), with Dr. Andrea Kaiser-Weiss from DWD representing the project.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced the fantastic news that important future Copernicus Missions are secured, including three CO2M satellites.
