Nile Garritson and Bob Stout Named to Carbon Mapper's Board of Directors

New expertise in finance, policy, and emissions management positions nonprofit for its next chapter of growth and impact

PASADENA, Calif., Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Carbon Mapper announced that Nile Garritson and Bob Stout were appointed to its Board of Directors.

Garritson brings deep financial and risk management expertise from nearly two decades in energy, while Stout brings almost three decades of global policy, legal, and public affairs leadership from bp. Together, their experience strengthens the financial discipline and policy insight guiding Carbon Mapper's mission to make methane and carbon dioxide emissions data accessible and actionable.

Carbon Mapper is scaling quickly to meet the urgency of the climate crisis. Since launching its first Tanager satellite with Planet Labs in 2024, the organization has publicly tracked thousands of methane plumes worldwide and partnered with governments and industry to turn that data into on-the-ground emissions reductions. On October 1, Carbon Mapper launched the second satellite in its growing constellation — multiplying the public methane data available to governments, regulators, industry, and international climate initiatives working to accelerate near-term emissions reductions.

"As we scale our satellite constellation, we're equally focused on scaling the data platform, science, and partnerships that turn that data into action," said Erin Blanton, Carbon Mapper Chief Operating Officer. "Nile and Bob bring the financial and policy rigor to help us grow with purpose and deliver lasting climate impact."
