Abstract: 
In Ukraine, during 2006—2011, the scientists from the Scientific Centre for Aerospace Research of the Earth of the IGS of the NAS of Ukraine have been elaborating a method for the monitoring of the balance of the greenhouse gases to clarify the amount of their emission and absorption using satellite data. The proposed methods allow one to carry out an independent monitoring of the balance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere on the basis of information from different satellites. According to expert estimates the CO2 component is over 75 % of the total greenhouse gas emissions within the territory of Ukraine. We propose to use satellite data for the estimation of the balance of natural and anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide and its absorption by vegetation photosynthetic activity of large areas and for the monitoring of the CO2 content in the atmosphere in different landscapes of various climatic zones and territorial units of Ukraine
Keywords: anthropogenic emissions, carbon dioxide, greenhouse gases
