The H₂CO data products from ERS-2 GOME and from SCIAMACHY were generated at BIRA using level-1 data produced for ESA at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR). Level-2 and level-3 H₂CO developments from ERS-2 GOME and SCIAMACHY were supported by ESA through the TEMIS and PROMOTE projects. BIRA is also involved in the ESA SCIAMACHY Quality Working Group (SQWG) where it supports the development and verification of the SCIAMACHY H₂CO operational product generated at DLR.

The H₂CO data products from GOME-2 were generated at BIRA using level-1 data developed by EUMETSAT. Level-2 and level-3 H₂CO scientific products from GOME-2 have been jointly supported by Belgian PRODEX (A3C and TRACE-S5P), ESA (PROMOTE) and EU (AMFIC). BIRA is also involved in the O3MSAF (CDOP-2 project) where it supports the development and validation of the GOME-2 H₂CO operational product generated at DLR.

The H₂CO data products from OMI were generated at BIRA using level-1 data developed at NASA/KNMI. Level-2 and level-3 OMI H₂CO developments are supported as part of the Sentinel-5 precursor TROPOMI level-2 project, funded by ESA and Belgian PRODEX (TRACE-S5P project).

Multi-sensor H₂CO developments at BIRA are currently supported by EU FP7 (QA4ECV project), in cooperation with KNMI, University of Bremen and MPIC-Mainz.
