CASE STUDY

Market Engagement & Assumption Testing for Satellite Applications Catapult

Callala's collaboration with the Satellite Applications Catapult on the UK Space Agency Methane Data Programme further showcases its expertise in market engagement and insight discovery. Working alongside the Catapult, we facilitated the adoption of GHGSat industrial point-source methane emission data across UK industries, providing identification of methane sources, for organisations committed to environmental stewardship.

Callala’s approach combines market analysis with strategic stakeholder engagement. We make assessments of ESG-related disclosures across key methane-emitting sectors including oil and gas, waste management, and water treatment, and link these with international legislation through direct engagement with industry leaders. Ultimately, Callala developed and reported a detailed and crucial set of insights into sector-specific applications and adoption drivers for Satellite Applications Catapult and the UK Space Agency.

The project's insights aim to shape both policy development, industry practice, and programme continuity. In turn the goal being to drive greater transparency in emissions reporting, enhancing UK inventory reporting, and accelerating the resolution of asset management failures. For Callala, this strategically aligned work was focussed on translating technical capabilities into tangible business value and advancing the UK's position in space technology.

While developing our Climate Impact Lab programme we contracted Callala to help us understand the barriers to adoption of climate services by financial institutions. The work undertaken by Callala helped shape the lab programme to best drive impact for the participating organisations by providing us with detailed information on the barriers preventing greater adoption of these services and recommendations to overcome these barriers. The outputs exceeded expectations due to Callala providing us with opportunities we could use in conversation with financial institution stakeholders that resonated with them and encouraged them to participate.

Callala's expertise in geospatial data and sustainability provided us with unique insights and knowledge. In addition, they were able to call upon their extensive network which gave us confidence that the outputs were representative of the wider sector. They have been a great company to work with and I would be very happy to recommend them.
