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.
How to Understand Asset-level Emissions by Country

Since the launch, many users are leveraging the tool to look up the most-emitting facilities in their specific country. Yet sometimes, a funny thing happens: a known source of major emissions for that country appears to be missing from the Climate TRACE asset-level dataset!.

Much more information is available in the CSV data downloads compared to what is available on the website dashboard. In this article we take a closer look at how the data are organized and what’s contained in the CSV files..
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.
