Climate TRACE
WHY TRACE EMISSIONS?
more
We built Climate TRACE to make meaningful climate action faster and easier by tracking greenhouse gas emissions with unprecedented detail, speed, and trusted independence.
Most human economic activities release greenhouse gases into the earth's atmosphere. We use satellites and other remote sensing technologies to spot these emissions activities...
…not just the big, obvious things, but also the tricky ones that move...
...and the less obvious ones.
We combine many sources of information because the more we know about each emissions source, the better we get at finding and accurately measuring them.
Using satellites, ground truth measurements, and artificial intelligence we build models that estimate emissions right at the source.
With more and more information streaming in from space and sensors around the globe, our emissions estimates are continuously improving.
Climate TRACE Releases First Comprehensive, Independent Database of Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Sep 16, 2021Climate TRACE Releases First Comprehensive, Independent Database of Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The inventory, which spans the years 2015–2020, reveals striking insights about recent emissions trends across 10 sectors and 38 subsectors of the global economy..
Satellites may hold countries to their Paris pledges
May 12, 2021Satellites may hold countries to their Paris pledges
Environmental agreements are hard to enforce without independently verified data. But the availability of high-quality satellite imagery — combined with advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning — allows for real-time monitoring of carbon emissions, deforestation and other activities..
A wave of carbon emissions data soon will be upon us
Feb 09, 2021A wave of carbon emissions data soon will be upon us
A radical increase in available carbon emissions data may be just around the corner. Should it happen within a matter of months as proponents hope, its effects will spread around the world to dramatic effect..
