Climate TRACE
Gas emissions tracking
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 less obvious emissions that have been hidden in the past..
…and the less obvious ones.
We combine many sources of information because the more we know about each source of emissions, the better we get at finding and accurately measuring them.
Using satellites, direct 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.

Jul 18, 2023Conversations With the Coalition: Sam Schiller
As part of an ongoing Climate TRACE series, we are interviewing individual coalition members about their work. We recently caught up with Sam Schiller, Co-Founder and CEO of Carbon Yield, which works with more than 100,000 acres of croplands to help them access the resources required to transition to regenerative agriculture..
Our vision
We make meaningful climate action faster and easier by mobilizing the global tech community to track greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with unprecedented detail and speed and provide this data freely to the public.
