The European Commission H2020 CHE (CO2 Human Emission) project has been coordinated by ECMWF and ran from October 2017 to December 2020 to prepare the building blocks of an anthropogenic CO2 monitoring system. Its follow-on project CoCO2 (Copernicus CO2 prototype) started from January 2021 to December 2023 to deliver the first prototype of a European CO2MVS (CO2 Monitoring and Verification Support capacity).
