Open Hydro

Open Hydro is a climate tech company focused on improving how freshwater emissions are measured, managed and reduced. We develop advanced models that quantify greenhouse gas emissions from reservoirs and other inland waters, combining satellite data, in situ monitoring and machine learning to give water operators clearer insight into their environmental impact. Our work supports utilities, regulators and developers by providing robust evidence to guide investment, reporting and mitigation strategies.

Alongside modelling, we collaborate with industry partners to explore how land use, water quality and operational decisions influence emissions across catchments. This helps clients identify practical steps to cut methane and carbon dioxide output while protecting ecosystem health. Open Hydro aims to make freshwater emissions visible, trusted and manageable, enabling the sector to contribute meaningfully to net zero goals.
