A lot of this is already commercial. Kayrros is e.g. selling services: https://www.kayrros.com/ (though they only use public satellite data, but they have their own algorithms to analyze it)

This is an interesting situation. Some companies in the space want to sell serices, with the oil and gas sector being a likely customer (thus huge conflict of interest flag).

> "For years, every time we had data [on methane emissions] — we were flying over an area, we were driving around — we always found more emissions than we were supposed to see," he [the LSCE researcher] says.

That means that the data used by the company you mentioned will likely underestimate it.

So it's not commercially available yet. I don't know if EDF has plans to open or sell their data in the future.
