"Google's Role in Mapping Global Methane Emissions from Space"
Google has partnered with the Environmental Defense Fund to map methane pollution and oil and gas infrastructure from space using AI and satellite technology. The initiative aims to pinpoint methane emissions and prevent leaks, as methane is a potent greenhouse gas. EDF's MethaneSAT satellite, launching next month, will track methane emissions globally, while Google's AI will map oil and gas infrastructure. The data will be publicly available to researchers and policymakers to help mitigate methane pollution and its impact on climate change.
