A global coalition co-founded by Al Gore has launched Climate TRACE, a database that tracks greenhouse gas emissions from individual polluters using machine learning and satellite technology. The database covers over 350 million sources of pollution, allowing companies to build low-emissions supply chains. Tesla, Boeing, and General Motors are among the companies planning to use the data to decarbonize their supply chains. Climate TRACE aims to expand its partnerships to include emissions reduction in other sectors and is open to working with governments interested in levying tariffs on goods from polluting facilities. The database also reveals discrepancies in emissions reporting, with the United Arab Emirates potentially underestimating its emissions by over 100 million tons.
