The European Commission is establishing an operational observation-based anthropogenic CO2 emissions monitoring and verification support capacity (CO2MVS) as part of its Copernicus Earth Observation programme.
The prototype systems for the European CO2MVS are being developed in the Prototype System for a Copernicus CO2 service (CoCO2) project. It is funded by the Space 2018-2020 Work Programme of the European Union for a three-year period (2021-2023). CoCO2 brings together expertise, existing capacities, and innovative ideas from a wide range of European and international players. It builds on the recommendations from the European Commission's CO2 monitoring Task Force, developments and recommendations from the precursor VERIFY and CHE research projects, and from support studies funded by the European Space Agency.The present document successively introduces existing data from five CoCO2 prototype systems, each exploring and prefiguring different aspects of the future CO2MVS but without possessing its full integration power yet.
