A new report from Inmarsat and Globant finds existing satellite technologies could save up to 5.5 billion tonnes of CO_² a year. Satellite technologies are already reducing carbon emissions by 1.5 billion tonnes (or 1.5 gigatons) every year, according to independent research report Can Space Help Save The Planet?, commissioned by Inmarsat from leading consultants at Globant’s Sustainable Business Studio. This is equivalent to almost four times the entire UK’s annual emissions in 2021[1] or the lifetime emissions of 50 million cars[2].

In many countries satellite video broadcasting is a major means of linear TV and radio delivery. But consumers today expect the convenience of watching linear and on-demand content on portable devices such as tablets, notebooks and mobile phones. Consequently, most video content providers now have dual-platform operations: a legacy (satellite) broadcast head-end, using MPEG Transport Stream delivery that serves integrated digital TVs or set-top boxes connected to consumers’ main room TV screens, and in addition an OTT streaming platform supporting live and on-demand content distribution, using unicast adaptive bit rate (ABR) streaming to mobile devices.
